<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We said we'd begin a thread on this
topic at yesterday's conf call. OK.. I'll start. It may be debated which
of these are requirements and which are recommended approach but, for brevity
and readability, I'll just begin a list. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Leverage semantics from Printer MIB,
IPP and Finisher MIB</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Address new functionality for MFPs
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. Address management of Services such
as Transforms or Print Services</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4. Improve upon the conveyance of status
as compared to the Printer MIB, hrMIB</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">5. Allow structuring the data model
in relation to applications (end-user, admin, accounting, service etc.)
vs. devices (printer, mfp, finisher). </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">6. Facilitate mapping to legacy models
(MIBs, CIM, NPAP etc.)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">7. Facilitate direct, native data exchange
to the lowest managed entity if desired (ex. don't REQUIRE proxy or translation)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">More to come I'm sure... </font>
