    Ira, looked at the Refresh at some length. Great detail in there.
    Didn't see any oddities. A couple really minor things.

    1. For Printer.PaperTypesAvailable, the lists of paper type strings,
    developed over many years, are sort of all over the place. Should we
    state which lists supersede which other lists? E.g., PWG5101 should be
    used in preference to (or take precedence over) RFC3805, which should be
    used in preference to ISO DPA 10175, etc. Just the historical record of
    the most recent probably being the most recently thought-out. Might not
    hurt to give the programmer a hint.

    2. For Printer.DefaultPaperType, one might also cite prtInputMediaName
    from the MIB, which contains the PaperType string of the row pointed to
    by prtInputDefaultIndex. Five mapping strings does seem excessive,
    though.

    Just a couple nits.
