/**

 * Class OutputDeviceAssigned is a printing attribute class, a text attribute,

 * that identifies the output device to which the service has assigned this

 * job. If an output device implements an embedded Print Service instance, the

 * printer need not set this attribute. If a print server implements a

 * Print Service instance, the value may be empty (zero- length string) or not

 * returned until the service assigns an output device to the job. This

 * attribute is particularly useful when a single service supports multiple

 * devices (so called "fan-out").
