Ron you misunderstood the problem. All the objects are STILL in the
Printer MIB space, because you imported 'printmib' from RFC 1759 and
defined your objects from there. Only the symbol 'finisherMIB' in the
MODULE-IDENTITY needs to change to a new (IANA assigned) arc under
'mib-2' (different from the current 'printmib' symbol at 'mib-2 43'),
because if you compile the two together under any of the five compilers
I have access to, you get a 'Duplicate Symbol' error and the compilation
fails (of whichever MIB module you compile second).
This is a normal activity with the RFC Editor at the time that an I-D
is accepted for publication as an Internet 'standards track' RFC. Just
some small housekeeping that needs to be done (my assignment of 'mib-2
9999' was a dummy and is NOT acceptable in an RFC).
