<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Another one for the list of anomalies in Printer MIB implementations. Sometimes the prtMarkerSuppliesMarkerIndex is a zero. This is supposed to be the index of the marker with which a particular supply is associated. By law, indices are nonzero. But someone thought that transfer rollers and fusers were consumable supplies that weren't associated with a marker. Surprise! Just try looking up marker zero in the table. </FONT></P>
