Hi Ron,
The 'jmDeviceBasicV2Event' trap in the Job Mon MIB
supports the sending of reports, warnings, and
non-critical errors as notifications.
But, the 'printerV2Alert' trap in the Printer MIB
REQUIRES that ONLY critical errors be sent as
notifications.
The concensus among the implementors of client
tools and network management station plug-ins that
I've talked to is that changing the Printer MIB
alert trap to be sent for other report/warning/
non-critical errors will probably break a LOT
of deployed client-side applications.
Also, the IETF would view it as a redefinition
of the trap and might block publication of Printer
MIB v2 entirely. Another alternative is to define
a NEW (second) trap in Printer MIB v2 which MAY
be sent for report/warning/non-critical errors.
The other advantages of the 'jmDeviceBasicV2Event':
a) it is generalized to support Scanner, Fax, and
other MFP components (obviously not possible with
the Printer MIB trap);
b) it is independent of the IETF Host Resources MIB
RFC 2790) Device table.

Ira,
This looks like a big improvement, but I need to spend some time
to review in detail to ensure that meets all my requirements.
One other issue that I keep forgetting to ask. What advantage
do you see that the jmDevice trap provides over the traps that
are currently defined in the Printer MIB? Is it feasible to extend
the Printer MIB traps to include the events that are defined for
the jmDevice traps?
I may not be able to attend this weeks conference call, at least
at the begining.
