Ron, there's another question. We can indicate capacity (max current etc)
for the finDevice, itself as well as the finSupplies associated with the
finDevice. In some cases, I can see where a finDevice might have several
types of supplies but in MANY cases, the finDevice will have one supply
(consider a simple stapler). In this case, it seems the maxCapacity and
currentLevel of the finDeivce would be identical to that of the finSupply,
right?

Harry,
You are correct, we missed this!
I will add "items(18)" to PrtCapacityUnitTC in the Printer MIB
when it reaches the RFC Editor. This entry is already in
PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC and it should have been added
to both.

It would appear that we overlooked adding fin types to the
PrtCapacityUnitTC. The only units in PrtCapacityUnitTC are
tenThousandthsOfInches(3), micrometers(4), sheets(8), feet(16),
meters(17). How, then, are we
to indicate the capacity or max capacity of a finisher device subunit such
as a stapler?
Also, it appears that, for simple finishers, it will be redundant to
describe the capacity and max capacity in both the Device and Supply
entries. (of course, more complex finishers may have multiple supplies and
supply types). In this case, is the recommendation to just let the
redundancy exist?
