When using the correctly capitalized terms for
the SM *objects*, a Document object can only
be created *after* a Job object has been created
and the DocumentTicket object is optional (and
rarely used) to override the JobTicket object in
the Job object.
There is no such thing as a *lowercase* document
ticket in the Semantic Model.

There is no possible public MIB general reference
for MakeAndModel (which was inherited from IPP
in SM/1.0 and was for whole Printers only).
IETF Host Resources MIB only supports ASN.1
OIDs in the ProductID textual convention used
in hrDeviceID (and elsewhere) for manufacturer
and model - these OIDs cannot be meaningfully
converted to human-readable values for make
and model.
By very loose implementation convention, most
imaging device manufacturers use sysDescr
and/or hrDeviceDescr (for hrDevicePrinter) to
include human-readable make and model - this
information cannot be parsed reliably - I have
had a long thread with HP WJA developers on
this issue.
An IEEE 1284 Device ID does include make
and model, but a separate string (at least for
the whole network device) is redundant.
For *only* two of the subunits (InputTray and
OutputTray), Printer MIB v2 includes make
and model. So there's no public MIB source
for make and model of any other subunits.
The SM/2.0 MakeAndModel element is synthetic
and does *not* have any public MIB reference.
Whether this element is a good idea is really
questionable, IMHO.
