Bert and David,
The Printer Working Group has revised the Job Monitoring MIB draft,
incorporating many of the changes that you have recommended. We believe
that the documents are now ready to be published as RFCs. The latest
drafts are available in the IETF Internet-Drafts directory as:
draft-ietf-printmib-job-monitor-08.txt (Feb 19, 1999)
draft-ietf-printmib-job-protomap-04.txt (Sept 21, 1998)
During our previous communications, you had suggested that the MIB
document be published as an Experimental RFC. The PWG does not object
to either an Informational or an Experimental status. The companion
Mapping Recommendations document should be an Informational RFC
regardless.
We are requesting that you review the updated document and provide a
recommendation for publication. Following your review, the PWG will
submit the documents to the appropriate IETF representative for
publication.
A summary of the document changes:
1. All REFERENCES clauses have been removed since they referred to
sections in the specification that are not within the actual MIB.
This change was recommended by Bert Wijnen and Keith McCloghrie.
2. Moved the definitions of the enumerations from the Textual Convention
entries in the MIB to the sections preceding the MIB. This change
was applied to JmAttributeTypeTC, JmJobSubmissionIDTypeTC,
JmJobStateReasons1TC, JmJobStateReasons2TC, JmJobStateReasons3TC, and
JmJobStateReasons4TC. This change was recommended by Keith
McCloghrie.
3. Added the related data types as ASN.1 comments for each enumeration
in JmAttributeTypeTC.
4. Replaced the use of "SHALL" with "is" for those cases where the
statement is not a conformance requirement. This change was
recommended by Bert Wijnen.
5. Clarified sections 3.3.3 and 3.3.7 to explain that the DEFVAL of 0
for index attributes is different from the DEFVAL of -2 for
JmAttributeValueAsInteger.
6. Clarified the relationships of the values of JmJobCollationTypeTC
with the IPP "multiple-document-handling" attribute.
7. Clarified that the values of the mediumRequested(170) and
mediumConsumed(171) attributes may be any of the IPP media values of
media name, media size names, and input tray names.
8. Added two new attributes, mediumTypeConsumed(174) and
mediumSizeConsumed(175) to JmAttributeTypeTC.
9. Changed "insure" to "ensure".
10. Fixed an incorrect reference in the jmAttributeEntry DESCRIPTION
clause from jmJobTable to jmAttributeTable.
The PWG would like to thank you for your time and patience in this matter.
For the PWG,
