<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Greetings:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">The PWG Steering Committee is considering
advancing PWG Candidate Standard</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">5107.1-2005 PWG Printer Port Monitor
MIB from Candidate Standard to Standard.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">One of the requirements that must be
met before a Candidate Standard can be</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">advanced to Standard is that interoperability
of the technology must be demonstrated.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Because implementation of the Port-Mon
MIB is required for at least one OS vendor's logo certification program
(for network hardcopy devices), it is likely that there may be enough implementations
of the Port-Mon MIB to demonstrate interoperability of the technology.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Please respond to the PWG officers
if your company is currently shipping</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">products that implement the Port-Mon
MIB. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Note: This is not a request for ANY
information that you feel may be confidential </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">relating to products you may have in
development or that are currently shipping.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">The compiled data will only include
the number of companies that responded that</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">they have implemented, not specific
company names. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Please send your responses: </font>
