Ira,
>From the Job MIB:
fullColorImpressionsCompleted(114), Integer32 (-2..2147483647)
INTEGER: The number of full color impressions completed by the
device for this job so far. For printing, the impressions
completed includes interpreting, marking, and stacking the
output. For other types of job services, the number of
impressions completed includes the number of impressions
processed. Full color impressions are typically defined as those
requiring 3 or more colorants, but this MAY vary by
implementation. In any case, the value of this attribute counts
by 1 for each side that has full color, not by the number of
colors per side (and the other impression counters are
incremented, except highlightColorImpressionsCompleted(115)).
Seems to be different from your current definition.

Hi,
No - definitions go only _once_ in the Counter Spec - those terms
(but NOT the definitions) can be imported in the Counter MIB.
It's NOT an objective that the Counter MIB can be read/used
free-standing (without the Counter Spec). If we restated the
actual definitions, we'd have to do so in the Counter Schema
and other future mappings. All error-prone and bad standards
practice.
The time to fix the definition of 'full-color impressions'
was six years ago in the Job MIB. The semantics are locked
down by the Job MIB (and by the PWG Semantic Model/1.0).
Cheers,
- Ira
