Tom Hastings announced that the draft of the Printer Jobs MIB was completed but he has not tried to compile the document. The consensus was that the document should be distributed for review ASAP and resolve any problems concerning compilation at a later
Seven comparisons of the Job MIB to current private implementations have been loaded to the PWG FTP server. Ron Bergman put together a quick summary of the results. This summary did not include HP, since this data was not available until an hour before
The objects with no private MIB usage were discussed. (Group indexes were ignored.) Tom Hastings proposed that these objects should be considered as candidates for removal. These items should be reviewed again after the comparison summary is available.

Harry Lewis indicated that an object was needed to define "where is my job located" (or where can I find the job when it is completed).
There will be another teleconference to continue these discussions on Thursday, January 30. The time, phone number and access code will be the same.
