<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that PrintCovers is a crummy name for a
class. Almost everyone who did not grow up with PrinterMIB would
misunderstand the class until they read the description. I suggest
PrintInterlocks. In the Projector & Display Management group, we are
calling the comparable stuff the Interlock Group. (If there isn't a sensor
on the door, then we don't care about it.) Seem reasonable to use
PrintInterlock as a classname instead?</FONT></P>
