Printer MIB (printmib) ---------------------- Charter Current status: active working group Chair(s): Joel Gyllenskog Network Management Area Director(s) Marshall Rose Area Advisor Steven Waldbusser Mailing lists: General Discussion:pmi@hpbs907.boi.hp.com To Subscribe: pmi-request@hpbs907.boi.hp.com Archive: ftp://ftpboi.external.hp.com:/pub/snmpmib Description of Working Group: The Printer MIB Working Group is chartered to develop a set of managed objects for networked printers. These objects will be the minimum necessary to provide the ability to monitor and control these systems, providing fault, configuration and performance management, and will be consistent with the SNMP framework and existing SNMP standards. At its discretion, the working group may also define a small number of unsolicited notifications (traps) which carry these managed objects. However, the working group recognizes that traps are used sparingly in the SNMP framework. The working group recognizes that the area of networked printers is quite diverse. However, the working group is specifically confined to defining managed objects that instrument critical information about: - printer engine - interpreters - media - input sources - output destinations - I/O interfaces Further, the working group is specifically prohibited from defining managed objects that instrumentation about: - other marking technologies (e.g., those that mark onto film) - fonts - spooling - print job management Goals and Milestones: Jan 94 Post first Internet-Draft; continue discussion Feb 94 Post revised Internet-Draft Mar 94 Meet at Seattle IETF to make final review of MIB Apr 94 Submit final Internet-Draft to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard
