You had different names for each of the services. Sorry. So, effectively you treat "interface" elements as the classes and "service" elements as instantiation of those classes, if I was to use an analogy to object-oriented systems. I would argue that web services are not objects but components (WSA definition) and as such they are more coarse-grained. Creating a new web service for each possible printer that is going to be available, given that there are alternative solutions, seems to me to be a solution that moves away from the concept of web services back to the Java, C++, and CORBA worlds. Just my 2c. .savas.
