    ------------------------------------------
    Request for ordered list of CIM MOF classes
    Background: As a result of the slow CIM Core WG process, we urgently
    need to reach concensus on the ORDER in which we will model the tables
    from the Printer MIB (RFC 1759/3805) into CIM MOF classes, as described
    in Rick Landau's document :
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim/td_PrintClassGroupings_v09_20070208.pdf

       Below is Ira's ordered list of CIM MOF classes:

    (0) CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF
    (1) CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    (2) CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    (3) CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
    (4) CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable
    (5) CIM_PrintDeviceCover - prtCoverTable
    (6) CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable
    (7) CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry
    (8) CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable
    (9) CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable
    (10) CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable
    (11) CIM_PrintConsoleLight - prtConsoleLightTable
    (12) CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer - prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable
    (13) CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable - last - depends on all other classes
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Summary of Counter MIB V2 features
    (1) Counter MIB v2 supports monitoring of the counters and state of all
        imaging services and subunits independent of any other MIB (but
        coherent with Printer MIB, Finisher MIB, and Host Resources MIB).

    (2) Counter MIB v2 resolves the main problem of MFP alerts (ambiguity
        about which services are affected when a given subunit has a fault).

    (3) Counter MIB v2 adds objects to three existing tables and adds one
        new table, so it must pass through the full PWG Process: Initial,
        Interim, Prototype, Stable, PWG Last Call, and PWG Formal Vote.

    (4) Counter MIB v2 is 100% backward compatible with Counter MIB v1 (all
        new objects have new compliance groups).
