I wanted to answer Harry's question on the status of the
Printer MIB. The Printer MIB did not have an involvement in
recent concluded IETF meeting. Our status is that we are still
waiting on the Host Resources MIB to be advanced to Draft
Standard status. The IETF rules state that the Printer MIB
cannot advance to Draft Standard until after the Host Resources
MIB is at Draft Standard status. The Host Resources MIB work
is occurring at a snails pace. They are working on it but not
as fast as Chris or I would like. Chris and I think we have done
everything that we need to do to advance forward so we have made
a request to Harald and Keith that the Printer MIB be allowed to
advance to Draft Standard without the Host Resources MIB. So far
we have not heard anything back from them. We'll give them a week
or so more to respond before bugging them again.
