The basic conclusion was to collect more opinions over the next three weeks.  However, it was considered that at least the three HRdevice objects should be added to the list ( hrDeviceStatus, hrPrinterStatus, hrPrinterDetectedErrorState). There should be consideration as to whether  MIB-II objects should be added.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Next ConCall is 24 August. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bill Wagner</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: Harry Lewis <harryl@us.ibm.com> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hey... the call is back up.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>---------------------------------------------- <BR>Harry Lewis <BR>IBM STSM<BR>Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group<BR>http://www.pwg.org<BR>IBM Printing Systems <BR>http://www.ibm.com/printers<BR>303-924-5337<BR>---------------------------------------------- </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>--<BR> No virus found in this outgoing message.<BR> Checked by AVG Free Edition.<BR> Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.5/407 - Release Date: 8/3/2006<BR> </FONT> </P>
