<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>The problem of the unwise use of "xxx...Error" in PrtAlertCodeTC<br>values (which collided with PrtAlertSeverityLevelTC) dates back to IETF Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805), where the first version of the IANA<br>
Printer MIB module was published and included:<br></div><div><div><div><br> subunitRecoverableStorageError(31),<br> -- Not in RFC 1759<br> subunitUnrecoverableStorageError(32),<br>
-- Not in RFC 1759<br><br></div><div>And continued with PWG IPP State Extensions (PWG 5100.9, July<br></div><div>2009) with 36 more modeled on the above for every finisher type.<br>
<br></div><div>And continued with PWG MFD Alerts (PWG 5107.3, June 2012)<br></div><div>with 6 of "xxx...FeedError" plus "faxModemProtocolError".<br><br></div><div>Obviously, the Printer MIB v2 editors (Ira was one) were too tired of<br>
waiting by 2004 (seven year delay in RFC Editor queue!!!) to<br>recognize these collisions with PrtAlertSeverityLevelTC and with <br>IPP/1.1 suffixes for "printer-state-reasons".<br><br></div><div>Note that generic subunit codes and specific finisher type codes<br>
also included the unwise suffix "xxx...Failure" (which is implicitly<br></div><div>a critical severity IMHO).<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>- Ira<br><br></div><div>PS - Solution to old sins is more whiskey...<br>
