Please complete the list with any items <BR>> that you notice are missing. And suggest how we shall divvy these up. <BR>> <BR>> rick <BR>> -------------------------------------------------- <BR>&g!

gt; PWG-CIM alignment, phase 2 <BR>> <BR>> 1. Deprecate properties that cannot be implemented interoperably. <BR>> <BR>> CurrentPaperType <BR>> CurrentLanguage <BR>> CurrentMimeType <BR>> CurrentCapabilities <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> 2. Move (deprecate and add) some properties from CIM_Printer to <BR>> CIM_PrintService. <BR>> <BR>> MaxCopies <BR>> DefaultCopies <BR>> MaxNumberUp <BR>> DefaultNumberUp <BR>> MaxSizeSupported <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> 3. Improved explanations for other ambiguous properties, whatever <BR>> ones we didn't get in phase 1. <BR>> <BR>> For instance, longer explanations in CIM_Printer.HorizontalResolution <BR>> and Vertical Resolution about how these should be derived from SNMP <BR>> correspondence or from common sense in the case of non-SNMP printers. <BR>> <BR>> HorizontalResolution <BR>> VerticalResolution <BR>> (Do we want to fix the non-metric units for these properties?) <BR>> <BR>> CurrentCharSet <BR>> CurrentNaturalLanguage <BR>> (These are really DefaultXxxx but badly named.) <BR>> <BR>> Include semantic descriptions of <BR>> - their impact on the operation of the printer; <BR>> - how their values are changed; <BR>> - when a changed value takes effect. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Close? <BR>> rick <BR>> ---------------------- <BR>> Richard_Landau(at)dell(dot)com, System Mgt Arch & Stds <BR>> +1-512-728-9023, <BR>> One Dell Way, <BR>> RR5-3 MS 8509, <BR>> Round Rock, TX 78682 </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
