The prtOutputName object is defined with max access of READ/WRITE.
Since you say the HP 5Si has localized values for prtOutputName,
how do does the agent control what gets written into that object?
Does the agent simply accept *anything* it receives in a SNMP Set
request?

The HP LaserJet 5Si uses 7 bit codes for all read-only OCTET STRINGs. The default values for prtOutputName may be 8 bit since the default values are localized.

Subject: PMP> Clarification on Lexmark's implementation of OCTET STRINGs
I want to clarify Lexmark's implementation of the 8th bit
in the OCTET STRINGs. While it is true that our implementations
of the Printer MIB do not do anything special to make sure
the 8th bit is not set, it is appears that none of the
OCTET STRING values that are hardcoded in the printer
have the 8th bit set. Therefore as best as I can determine,
if we choose to use the 8th bit for something (such as
UTF-8 encoding), it would not break our previous Printer
MIB implementations.
