Hi,
The actual order of a few of the fields will be slightly different.
I was tired when I wrote that note below. But content the same.
I'll send out some new diagrams soon too, but for each use model:
(1) Network Spooler
- 1 ppmPrinterTable entry for each downstream network printer
- 1 ppmPortTable entry for each supported protocol type
(2) External Network Adapter
- 1 ppmPrinterTable entry for each downstream hardware interface
- 1 ppmPortTable entry for each supported protocol type
(3) Network Printer (or Internal Network Adapter [INA])
- EXACTLY ONE ppmPrinterTable entry (and one hrDeviceIndex)
- 1 ppmPortTable entry for each supported protocol type
Cheers,
- Ira

> Subject: PMP> Sketch of PPM MIB with new Printer table
>>> Hi, Sunday (17
> July 2005)
>> Based on feedback from the Printer Port Monitor Interop event
> last week,
> below is a brief sketch of a revised PPM MIB with three object groups:
>> (1) General - scalars - language tag and counters
> - add ppmGeneralNumberOfPrinters (entry count for ppmPrinterTable)
> - keep ppmGeneralNumberOfPorts (entry count for ppmPortTable)
> - remove ppmGeneralPreferredPortIndex (add to ppmPrinterTable)
>> (2) Printer - table - list of printers on system
> - keep Printer-specific elements from previous ppmPortTable
> (for ENA or Network Spooler)
> - maps one-to-one to Printers in Host Resources MIB and
> Printer MIB
> (via ppmPrinterHrDeviceIndex, if non-zero)
> - rename ppmPortSnmpStatusQueryEnabled to
> ppmPrinterSnmpQueryEnabled
> (to stay within 31 characters for portability across
> compilers)
>> (3) Port - table - list of logical ports on each printer
> - indexed by ppmPrinterIndex and ppmPortIndex
> - keeps Port-specific elements from previous ppmPortTable
>> All tables were reordered to follow Printer MIB and PWG Semantic Model
> conventions - state, name, description, type, other stuff - see below.
>> I plan to post clean ASN.1 for this revision by Monday evening.
>> Comments?
