    Ira,

    I agree with the changes you proposed:
    icGeneralNaturalLanguage - should stay 63 - IPP uses 63
    icMediaUsedMediaSizeName - should change to 255 - IPP uses 255
    icMediaUsedMediaName - should change to 255 - IPP uses 255
    icAlertCounterName - should stay 63 - value is an ASN.1 identifier

    Hi Pete,

    The Counter MIB (as distinct from spec or schema) follows
    the Job MIB usage for media name of 63 octets. Whereas,
    IPP uses 255. I could lengthen the string in the MIB (a
    backwards compatible change). Should I do that?

    Altogether, four strings in the Counter MIB follow the Job
    MIB usage for 63 octets and might be lengthened:

    icGeneralNaturalLanguage - should stay 63 - IPP uses 63
    icMediaUsedMediaSizeName - should change to 255 - IPP uses 255
    icMediaUsedMediaName - should change to 255 - IPP uses 255
    icAlertCounterName - should stay 63 - value is an ASN.1 identifier

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    Ira,
    Thanks, I fixed that so it is now on the correct day. Any problem with
    the counter MIB change for the maximum size of a media size name (i.e.
    0..63 to 0..255)?

    Hi Pete,

    The Google calendar shows MFD meeting NOW on Wednesday.
    Which does not agree with your meeting announcement on
    Tuesday. Huh?

    Cheers,
