I have submitted the latest Finisher MIB document to the IETF to be posted
as an internet-draft. The announcement should appear in the next day or
so.
The document also can be found at:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fin/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-printmib-finishing-03.txt
I have also loaded a WORD file that contains revision marks for all the
changes since the last internet-draft. (I could not create a PDF file today.)
The WORD file is in the same directory as:
draft-ietf-printmib-finishing-rev-03.doc
And there is a MIB file that matches at:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fin/mibs/fin-mib-980629.mib
These documents contain all the changes from the prevous posting plus,
with the following exceptions, the changes suggested by Tom Hastings and
Ira Mcdonald.
1. I added "(mandatory)" to the Finisher Device Attribute Group but I
question whether it should really be "Conditionally Mandatory". As
suggested by Tom, is it valid to have a table entry without any
attributes? Or, if there are no attributes there should be no table?
2. I did not change the arc to { mib-2 9999 } as in Ira's differences.
I believe that the problem observed by Ira could also be solved by
appending the Finisher MIB to the Printer MIB and compiling both
together.
Ira: Did your complied result contain the correct OIDs with the
Printer MIB arc?
3. Ira suggested that the syntax of the objects:
finSupplyMediaInputName
finSupplyMediaInputDescription
finSupplyMediaInputMediaType
be change from "DisplayString" to "OCTET STRING" to be consistent
with the Printer MIB. Since it was previously discussed and agreed
that these objects should be "DisplayString", I did not change.
Unless we can resolve the above three issues via email, I would like to
place these issues for discussion on the agenda for next week.
