> Hi Rick,
>> [copied WIMS mailing list, to get comments from other people]
>> Your list of dispositions for dubious/ambiguous/misplaced properties
> in CIM_Printer class for Phase 2 looks fine to me.
>> Note that in the latest version of my CIM Refresh document, I did
> specifically change the Description clauses for Horizontal/Vertical
> to clarify their relationship to the (already aligned) Printer MIB
> and IPP attributes.
>> Since I haven't started on the Phase 1 changes for other classes,
> I'm not sure what we may find there for Phase 2.
>> I plan to start on Phase 1 for CIM_PrintService this week.
>> I'm also trying to get a working WSDL/1.1 for WIMS together, so I
> may be a little slow with the CIM work.
>> Cheers,
> - Ira

>> PWG-CIM alignment, phase 2
>> 1. Deprecate properties that cannot be implemented interoperably.
>> CurrentPaperType
> CurrentLanguage
> CurrentMimeType
> CurrentCapabilities
>>> 2. Move (deprecate and add) some properties from CIM_Printer to
> CIM_PrintService.
>> MaxCopies
> DefaultCopies
> MaxNumberUp
> DefaultNumberUp
> MaxSizeSupported
>>> 3. Improved explanations for other ambiguous properties, whatever
> ones we didn't get in phase 1.
>> For instance, longer explanations in CIM_Printer.HorizontalResolution
> and Vertical Resolution about how these should be derived from SNMP
> correspondence or from common sense in the case of non-SNMP printers.
>> HorizontalResolution
> VerticalResolution
> (Do we want to fix the non-metric units for these properties?)
>> CurrentCharSet
> CurrentNaturalLanguage
> (These are really DefaultXxxx but badly named.)
>> Include semantic descriptions of
> - their impact on the operation of the printer;
> - how their values are changed;
> - when a changed value takes effect.
>>> Close?
