    Another one for the list of anomalies in Printer MIB implementations.
    Sometimes the prtMarkerSuppliesMarkerIndex is a zero. This is supposed
    to be the index of the marker with which a particular supply is
    associated. By law, indices are nonzero. But someone thought that
    transfer rollers and fusers were consumable supplies that weren't
    associated with a marker. Surprise! Just try looking up marker zero in
    the table.

    Easy to code around, but crummy.
