Thanks for taking the lead in this ongoing mess.

For those not at the interop test, by "genericized" you mean "anonymous".

Yes, this would really be helpful...but isn't such trap recipient
address configuration purely implementation-dependent? It would be
great if all participating printer vendors published (as part of the
results) the steps needed to set such trap recipient addresses.

We'll assume you mean that each vendor should state whether they
implement SNMP V1 traps versus SNMP V2 traps (or both).

Excellent!

It would probably be in our best (statistical) interests that all vendors
invoke the exact same condition. That way we can truly compare results
in an apples-n-apples fashion.

Sorry, can you explain just a bit more here?

Is this different in some way than your #5 step above?
And you're right, we have precious little time to pull off this ad hoc
interop test, so let's hear from all participants as quickly as possible.
