I was looking at the Printer MIB and came across what appears to be a =
cut and paste error.


prtLocalizationIndex OBJECT-TYPE
              SYNTAX     Integer32 (1..65535)
              MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
              STATUS     current
              DESCRIPTION
                "A unique value used by the printer to identify this
          localization entry.  Although these values may change due to a
          major reconfiguration of the device (e.g., the addition of new
          Cover sub-units to the printer), values are expected to remain
          stable across successive printer power cycles."


The "e.g., " refers to " the addition of new Cover sub-units to the =
printer". I'd be quite surprised that adding covers will cause more =
localization entries! How about something along the lines of "the =
addition of new localization code to the printer."


Also, Ira mentioned today that his printers have the ability to have =
localizations added. Ira, is that done while the printer is online? HP =
printers allow localizations to be added via a ROM SIMM, so it is =
powered down for the addition. If the printer does it live, then most of =
the "DESCRIPTION" should be deleted.
