Hi folks, Wednesday (9 August 2000)
I've just sent the final version of 'IETF Printer MIB v2' with all edits
resulting from the Printer MIB WG 'last call' to the Internet-Drafts
editor.
This version is for submission to the IESG for IETF 'last call'
(normally four weeks for revisions to existing RFCs) and subsequent
publication as a Proposed Standard RFC - since new objects are defined
beyond RFC 1759, this MIB must start over on the Internet 'standards
track'.
I posted a copy on the PWG anonymous FTP server in the directory
'ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/pmp/drafts/' in the files:
draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-06.txt - IETF style flat text
draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-06.pdf - line numbered PDF of '.txt'
draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-06.doc - MS Word source
draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-06.mib - extracted ASN.1 from '.txt'
NOTE - The filename on the title page of the '.doc' (source) and '.pdf'
versions is still incorrect (missing the '-mib' infix). I hand-edited
the '.txt' and fixed the filename on the title page, so that I could
post these files tonight.
My note to the I-D editor and the change log from this document follow.
Cheers,
- Ira McDonald

I-D Editor, Wednesday (9 August 2000)
Printer MIB:
Please place this document in the Internet-Drafts repository as:
<draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-06.txt> (August 2000)
It replaces the previous draft:
<draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-05.txt> (July 2000)
Note: The '-05' version was originally forwarded with the (incorrect)
name 'draft-ietf-printmib-info-05.txt'. Corrected by the I-D Editor
(thank you).
Abstract
This document provides definitions of models and manageable objects
for printing environments. The objects included in this MIB apply to
physical, as well as logical entities within a printing device. This
MIB definition makes explicit references to the Host Resources MIB
(RFC 2790 [28]), as well as the Interfaces Group of MIB-II (RFC 1213
[14]).
Thanks very much,

[Change Log]
4. Differences from Previous Version
This draft supercedes and replaces RFC 1759. The following changes
are included here.
- Minor editorial corrections and changes.
- Updated Coded Character Set description and IANA registration
process.
- Change hrPrinterDetectedErrorState "coverOpen" (bit 4) to
"doorOpen" per RFC 2790.
- Added second octet of hrPrinterDetectedErrorState as partially
described and assigned in the updated Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790).
- Remove fixed association of hrDeviceStatus (warning/down) from
hrPrinterDetetctedErrorState per RFC 2790.
- Instead of showing bit 15 as "not assigned" in the quote from RFC
2790 in the hrPrinterDetectedErrorState object, removed that from the
tabular form and added it as a sentence, because the RFC doesn't show
bit 15 in the tabular form.
- Clarfied the international considerations.
- Added prtChannelInformation to the Channel Group textual-
conventions on a per channel basis to clarify the channel description
and enhance interoperability.
- Deprecated some obsolete channel types.
- Extended the Alert Table and PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnit textual
conventions to include values from the Finisher MIB.
- Clarify alerts based on unary vs. binary change events.
- Added (optional) unary change event
alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801).
- Establish a convention for contact information for
prtGeneralCurrentOperator and prtGeneralServicePerson.
- Added prtAuxiliarySheetStartupPage PresentOnOff
- Added prtAuxiliarySheetBannerPage PresentOnOff
- Added prtGeneralPrinterName OCTET STRING
- Added prtGeneralSerialNumber OCTET STRING
- Added prtInputNextIndex Integer32
- Added the Input Switching Group
- Added prtAlertCriticalEvents Counter32
- Added prtAlertAllEvents Counter32
- Updated PrtAlertCode enums including generic alert codes.
- Deprecated the use of alert codes doorOpen(501) and
doorClosed(502), in favor of coverOpened(3) and coverClosed(4).
- Added the PrtConsoleDisableTC and PrtMarkerAddressabilityUnitTC
textual conventions, and changed the PrtConsoleDisable and
PrtMarkerAddressabilityUnit objects' syntax to use those TCs, and
changed the PrtGeneralEntry and PrtMarkerColorantEntry SEQUENCEs to
reflect the new syntax.
- Added 'IANA Considerations' and 'Internationalization
Considerations' as top level sections, per IETF guidelines.
- Updated Security and Copyright sections.
- Updated references.
- Added Appendix E - Overall Printer Status Table.
