    Hi,
     
    My two cents - yes, we should EVENTUALLY consider other MIBs
    - especially MIB-II System and Interfaces groups, on which Printer
    MIB depends heavily in practice - but also Finisher MIB, which is
    more and more important in evolving MFDs.
     
    But _not_ try to cherry-pick just a few objects.
     
    There's a reasoning flaw in some of our existing Printer MIB
    analysis - that _status_ is most important and _configuration_
    is less interesting - I strongly doubt that CIM-based interfaces
    are EVER going to be very viable for _status_.
     
    The Printer MIB requires much more of MIB-II and HR MIB than
    just three objects.
     
    Cheers,
    - Ira

    We did resume the CIM call after the disruption. The basic conclusion was to
    collect more opinions over the next three weeks. However, it was considered
    that at least the three HRdevice objects should be added to the list (
    hrDeviceStatus, hrPrinterStatus, hrPrinterDetectedErrorState). There should
    be consideration as to whether MIB-II objects should be added.
     
    Next ConCall is 24 August.
