Jay,

I don't think you can say "there are no warning/alert entries in the Alert
Table if hrPrinterDetectedErrorState is zero". We have error and warning
conditions that are not covered by the eight conditions listed for
hrPrinterDetectedErrorState. For example, a disk failure or a failure in
the controller that interfaces to our paper handling devices.

hrPrinterDetectedErrorState

Is it fair to say that, by definition, there are no warning/alert
entries in the Alert Table if hrPrinterDetectedErrorState is zero?

That is, if hrPrinterDetectedErrorState is 0, then one should not
have to poll the Alert Table to see if there are any warning and/or
alert entries present?
