 * Class {@code DateTimeAtProcessing} is a printing attribute class, a date-time
 * attribute, that indicates the date and time at which the Print Job first
 * began processing.
 * <p>
 * To construct a {@code DateTimeAtProcessing} attribute from separate values of
 * the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, use a
 * {@link Calendar Calendar} object to construct a {@link Date Date} object,
 * then use the {@link Date Date} object to construct the DateTimeAtProcessing
 * attribute. To convert a {@code DateTimeAtProcessing} attribute to separate
 * values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, create a
 * {@link Calendar Calendar} object and set it to the {@link Date Date} from the
 * {@code DateTimeAtProcessing} attribute.
 * <p>
 * <b>IPP Compatibility:</b> The information needed to construct an IPP
 * "date-time-at-processing" attribute can be obtained as described above. The
 * category name returned by {@code getName()} gives the IPP attribute name.
