Hi Ron,
We have 'unknown(2)' defined in EVERY other textual convention
in IANA Printer MIB and Printer MIB v2 modules, except these
three - I've been writing workarounds for Xerox and Sharp
implementors (for appropriate default values) for five years.
One bug - three occurrences - one CR to fix it.
Cheers,
- Ira

>>> Hi folks, Monday (25
> July 2005)
>> Below are proposed updates for missing 'out-of-band' values to three
> textual conventions defined in the IANA-PRINTER-MIB. These missing
> 'unknown(2)' values were technical errors in Printer MIB v1 (RFC 1759)
> and Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805).
>> These updates will allow the new Printer Port Monitor MIB to use a
> syntax of PrtChannelTypeTC for the ppmPortProtocolType object (as
> recently requested by Bert Wijnen). These updates should also improve
> interoperability among Printer MIB implementations (they are all the
> appropriate default values).
>> After review, these additions should be sent to IANA for registration
> in the IANA-PRINTER-MIB by our Designated Experts, Bert
> Wijnen and Harry
> Lewis.
>> Comments?
