Hi Pete,

Comments:

(1) RFC 2396 (in syntaxes) is obsoleted by RFC 3986.
<PZ>OK</PZ>

(2) I suggest that instead of 'Address' (somewhat inaccurate), the
    keyword for WS-Print Service URL be 'ServiceURI' - consistent with
    other existing channels and with the PWG Port Monitor MIB.
<PZ>I choose Adress based on the WS-Transfer/WS-MetadataExchange
elemenat name in Relationships.  I can live with ServiceURI.  It should
be noted that the multiplicity is probably wrong since the Service can
be available at multiple URLs (e.g. IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses in a
URL).  And yes I know that is not a good idea but it happens in
unmanaged networks.</PZ> 

(3) Syntax for DeviceUUID should be changed to
    'URI (Unicode UTF-8 per RFC 3986)'
    - consistent with other channels and RFC 4122 (your reference)
    - note that OCTET STRING is BINARY and illegal in human-readable
    prtChannelInfo object (which must be string parseable).
<PZ>That is what I originally had.  As long as a value such as
'uuid:172582cc-4dc4-4786-abc2-d1c307123ac6' is valid it works for
me.</PZ>

Cheers,
- Ira
