The following change to jmResourceName is proposed as per the recent
email on this subject:

IS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
jmResourceName OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
or
Integer32(0..2147483647)
or
Counter32(0..2147483647)
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The coded character set name of the resource, e.g., iso-a4-
white, red-ink, number 2 staples, or the string value, such as
the document name, or device name, etc., or an index of a row
in a table. The data type of jmResourceName is determined by
the value of jmResourceType."
::= { jmResourceEntry 3 }
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGE TO:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
jmResourceStringValue OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63)),
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Defines the value of a resource that must be represented as a
string. If the resource is not represented as a string, this
object must return a string of zero length. For numeric
values, the object jmResourceUnits must be used."
::= { jmResourceEntry 3 }
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

After a review of the related resource enums, I do not believe that any
will require changes. The enums which have dual purpose (i.e. used for
both requested and used states) are sides (simplex/duplex), interpters,
and physical devices. I am not sure that these justify a split into
a ...Requested and ...Used.

However, I believe that we should add:

impressionsRequested(?)
pagesRequested(?) -- Total logical pages for all copies
