size=2>Hi folks,
Monday (25 July 2005)<BR><BR>Below are proposed updates for
missing 'out-of-band' values to three<BR>textual conventions defined in the
IANA-PRINTER-MIB. These missing<BR>'unknown(2)' values were technical
errors in Printer MIB v1 (RFC 1759)<BR>and Printer MIB v2 (RFC
3805).<BR><BR>These updates will allow the new Printer Port Monitor MIB to use
a<BR>syntax of PrtChannelTypeTC for the ppmPortProtocolType object
(as<BR>recently requested by Bert Wijnen). These updates should also
improve<BR>interoperability among Printer MIB implementations (they are all
the<BR>appropriate default values).<BR><BR>After review, these additions
should be sent to IANA for registration<BR>in the IANA-PRINTER-MIB by our
Designated Experts, Bert Wijnen and
Harry<BR>Lewis.<BR><BR>Comments?<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>- Ira (co-editor of Printer
MIB v2)<BR><BR><BR>Ira McDonald (Musician / Software Architect)<BR>Blue Roof
