In doing the exercise... some thoughts...
1. I gave greater weight to stuff we added in Printer MIB v2 because if it
wasn't so important... why'd we add it?
2. I see a lot of people put prtGeneral last because it "depends on all
other classes". But there are some very useful (independent) attributes in
prtGeneral (like Name, S/N, Operator/ServicePerson etc.)
3. Where does hrPrinterDetectedErrorState fall in all of this? Not part of
Printer MIB but... as you all know... one of my all time favorites ;-)
- hrDeviceStatus, hrPrinterStatus, hrDeviceID and sysDescr... all
fundamental (and so were referenced in the Printer MIB),
My ordering of the list...
(0) CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable (contains valuable independent
elements: example S/N)
(1) CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable
(2) CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry
I agree with Rick… these are inseparable
(3) CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
(4) CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF
(5) CIM_PrintDeviceCover – prtCoverTable
(6) CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
(7) CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable
(8) CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer – prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable
(9) CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable
(10) CIM_PrintConsoleLight – prtConsoleLightTable
(11) CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable
(12) CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable
(13) CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF

PWG-ANNOUNCE> ACTION - Ordered list of CIM MOF classes - due Wed 11 April
Hi, Thursday (5 April 2007)
*** Action: Send your ordered list of CIM MOF classes
*** Due Date: End-of-day Wednesday 11 April 2007
*** To: All PWG members
*** Reply To: wims at pwg.org
*** Note: Do NOT reply to pwg-announce at pwg.org
Background: As a result of the slow CIM Core WG process, we urgently
need to reach concensus on the ORDER in which we will model the tables
from the Printer MIB (RFC 1759/3805) into CIM MOF classes, as described
in Rick Landau's document posted in the directory:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim
in the file:
td_PrintClassGroupings_v09_20070208.pdf
Below is my own ordered list of CIM MOF classes:
(0) CIM_PrintOutputTray - prtOutputTable - done - in progress at DMTF
(1) CIM_PrintInputTray - prtInputTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
(2) CIM_PrintMarker - prtMarkerTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
(3) CIM_PrintChannel - prtChannelTable - done - not submitted to DMTF
(4) CIM_PrintSupply - prtMarkerSuppliesTable
(5) CIM_PrintDeviceCover - prtCoverTable
(6) CIM_PrintAlertLog - prtAlertTable
(7) CIM_PrintAlertRecord - prtAlertEntry
(8) CIM_PrintMediaPath - prtMediaPathTable
(9) CIM_PrintInterpreter - prtInterpreterTable
(10) CIM_PrintColorant - prtMarkerColorantTable
(11) CIM_PrintConsoleLight - prtConsoleLightTable
(12) CIM_PrintConsoleDisplayBuffer - prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable
(13) CIM_Printer - prtGeneralTable - last - depends on all other classes
At the WIMS-CIM telecon on Thursday 12 April we will determine concensus
on the ordered list - Rick Landau and I will follow this concensus.
Cheers,
- Ira
