I'm not really keen to reopen the Printer MIB since we have already put =
aside some proposals in order to achieve closure. I would be satisfied =
to see the current draft be a Proposed Standard and then if work is to =
continue, let's open it up for improvements in status and error =
reporting, as well as localization and other issues. Harry's proposal is =
a good starting point but I'd need to do some checking with our =
developers to make sure everything is covered.

P.S. For the record, if I had known there would be Printer MIB issues on =
the agenda, I would have made the trip to Boulder.

Subject: PMP> Error Status Reporting - Does it need to be fixed?
There has been some discussion that the current Error Status
Reporting mechanism in the Printer MIB is not sufficient.
There have been solutions already proposed to the problem
but I would like for this thread to discuss is the current
mechanism broken? Harry, Jay and Tom have already stated
Yes - it is broken. I would like to hear from other people
as well.
Regards,
Lloyd
