    Ira and Mark,

        The Finisher MIB was meant to not only apply to
        printers but to stand alone finishers, etc.. As such, you
        can not rely on the prtXXX entries for information (there
        is some overlap though).

        Also, a finisher could have supplies (staples) as well
        as output bins. Therefore, finSupplyCurrentLevelMIB
        is different from finDeviceCurrentCapacity where by one
        refers to the # of supplies remaining to be used and one
        refers to the level of a bin/tray/etc.

    Just my 2 cents,
    Ray Casterline
