1. Introduction
1.1. Network Printing Environment
The management of producing a printed document, in any computer
environment, is a complex subject. Basically, the task can be
divided into two overlapping pieces, the management of printing and
the management of the printer. Printing encompasses the entire
process of producing a printed document from generation of the file
to be printed, selection of a printer, choosing printing properties,
routing, queuing, resource management, scheduling, and final printing
including notifying the user. Most of the printing process is
outside the scope of the model presented here; only the management of
the printer is covered.

RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
1.2. Printer Device Overview
A printer is the physical device that takes media from an input
source, produces marks on that media according to some page
description or page control language and puts the result in some
output destination, possibly with finishing applied. Printers are
complex devices that consume supplies, produce waste and may have
mechanical problems. In the management of the physical device the
description, status and alert information concerning the printer and
its various subparts has to be made available to the management
application so that it can be reported to the end user, key operators
for the replenishment of supplies or the repair or maintenance of the
device. The information needed in the management of the physical
printer and the management of a printing job overlap highly and many
of the tasks in each management area require the same or similar
information.
1.3. Categories of Printer Information
Information about printers is classified into three basic categories:
descriptions, status and alerts.
1.3.1. Descriptions
Descriptions convey information about the configuration and
capabilities of the printer and its various sub-units. This
information is largely static information and does not generally
change during the operation of the system but may change as the
printer is repaired, reconfigured or upgraded. The descriptions are
one part of the visible state of the printer where state means the
condition of being of the printer at any point in time.
1.3.2. Status
Status is the information regarding the current operating state of
the printer and its various sub-units. As an example of the use of
status, a management application must be able to determine if the
various sub-units are ready to print or are in some state that
prevents printing or may prevent printing in the future.
1.3.3. Alerts
An Alert is the representation of a reportable event in the printer.
An event is a change in the state of the printer. Some of those
state changes are of interest to a management application and are
therefore reportable. Typically, these are the events that affect
the printer's ability to print. Alerts usually occur asynchronously
to the operation of the computer system(s) to which the printer is
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
attached. For convenience below, "alert" will be used for both the
event caused by a change in the printer's state and for the
representation of that event.
Alerts can be classified into two basic categories, critical and non-
critical. A critical alert is one that is triggered by entry into a
state in which the printer is stopped and printing can not continue
until the condition that caused the critical alert is eliminated.
"Out of paper", "toner empty" and "output bin full" are examples of
critical alerts. Non-critical alerts are triggered by those events
that enter a state in which printing is not stopped. Such a non-
critical state may, at some future time, lead to a state in which
printing may be stopped. Examples of these kinds of non-critical
alerts are "input media low", "toner low" and "output bin nearly
full". Or, a non-critical alert may simply provide information, such
as signaling a configuration changed in the printer.
Description, status and alert information about the printer can be
thought of as a database describing the printer. The management
application for a printer will want to view the printer data base
differently depending on how and for what purposes the information in
the database is needed.
1.4. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
1.5. Requirement Levels
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Compliant implementations must follow this specification.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2. Printer Model
In order to accomplish the management of the printer, an abstract
model of the printer is needed to represent the sub-units from which
the printer is composed. A printer can be described as consisting of
13 types of sub-units. It is important to note that the sub-units of
a printer do not necessarily relate directly to any physically
identifiable mechanism. Sub-units can also be a set of definable
logical processes, such as interpreters for page description
languages or command processors that set various operating modes of
the printer.
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the printer and its basic 13 sub-
units.

RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2.1. Overview of the Printer Model
The model has three basic parts: (1) the flow of a print file into an
interpreter and onto the marker, (2) the flow of media through the
marker and (3) the auxiliary sub-units that control and facilitate
the two prior flows. The flow of the print data comes through a
physical connection on which some form of transport protocol stack is
running. The data provided by the transport protocol (interface)
appears on a channel, which is the input to an interpreter. The
interpreter converts the print data into a form suitable for marking
on the media.
The media resides in Input sub-units from which the media is selected
and then transported via a Media Path first to a Marking sub-unit and
then onto an Output sub-unit with (optionally) some finishing
operations being performed. The auxiliary sub-units facilitate
control of the printer, inquiry/control of the operator panel,
reporting of alerts and the adaptation of the printer to various
natural languages and characters sets. All the software sub-units
run on the System Controller that represents the processor, memory
and storage systems of the Printer. Each of the sub-units is
discussed in more detail below.
All of the sub-units other than the Alerts report only state
information, either a description or a status. The Alerts sub-unit
reports event information.
2.2. Printer Sub-Units
A printer is composed of 13 types of sub-units, called groups. The
following sections describe the different types of sub-units.
2.2.1. General Printer
The general printer sub-unit is responsible for the overall control
and status of the printer. There is exactly one general printer sub-
unit in a printer. The General Printer Group in the model represents
the general printer sub-unit. In addition to the providing the
status of the whole printer and allowing the printer to be reset,
this Group provides information on the status of the packaging of the
printer, in particular, the covers. The general printer sub-unit is
usually implemented on the system controller.
2.2.1.1. International Considerations
The localization portion of the general printer sub-unit is
responsible for identifying the natural language, country, and
character set in which certain character strings are expressed in
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
this MIB. Character sets are identified in this MIB using the
IANACharset textual convention imported from the IANA Character Set
MIB [CHARMIB].
There may be one or more localizations supported per printer. The
available localizations are specified in the Localization table.
Localization SHOULD only be performed on string objects which are
named 'xxxDescription' (sub-unit descriptions) or
'prtConsoleDisplayBufferText' (local console text).
The agent SHALL return all other character strings in coded character
sets in which code positions 0-127 (decimal) are US-ASCII [ASCII].
The agent SHOULD return all other character strings in the UTF-8
[RFC3629] transform of ISO 10646 [ISO10646], to conform with the IETF
Policy on Character Sets and Languages [RFC2277]. Control codes
(code positions 0-31 and 127 decimal) SHALL NOT be used unless
specifically required in the DESCRIPTION of an object.
The character set portion of the general printer Localization table
is responsible for identifying the possible character sets for the
operator console, and network management requests for display
objects. There may be one or more character sets per printer.
Default coded character sets for interpreter unit and output octets
are described in the interpreter sub-unit by
prtInterpreterDefaultCharSetIn and prtInterpreterDefaultCharSetOut.
These input/output character sets may be overridden by commands in
the interpreter language itself.
2.2.2. Inputs
Input sub-units are mechanisms that feed media to be marked on into
the printer. A printer contains one or more input sub-units. The
Input Group in the model represents these. The model does not
distinguish fixed input bins from removable trays, except to report
when a removable tray has been removed.
There are as many input sub-units as there are distinctly selectable
input "addresses". For example, if one tray has both a manual and
auto feeding option, then this is two input sub-units if these two
sources can be (must be) separately selected. However, the above
would be considered one input sub-unit if putting a sheet in the
manual feed slot overrides feeding from the contents of the tray. In
the second case there is no way to separately select or address the
manual feed slot.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2.2.3. Media
An input sub-unit can hold one or more instances of the media on
which marking is to be done. Typically, there is a large set of
possible media that can be associated with an input. The Media Group
is an extension of the Input Group, which represents media in an
input sub-unit. The Media Group only describes the current contents
of each input and not the possible content of the input sub-unit.
2.2.4. Outputs
Output sub-units are mechanisms that receive media that has been
marked on. The Output Group in the model represents the one or more
output mechanisms contained by a printer. The model does not
distinguish fixed output bins from removable output bins, except to
report when a removable bin has been removed.
There are as many output sub-units as there are distinctly selectable
output "addresses". Output sub-units can be addressed in two
different ways: (1) as a set of "mailboxes" which are addressed by a
specific mailbox selector such as a bin number or a bin name, or (2)
as a set of "slots" into which multiple copies are collated.
Sometimes both modes of using the output sub-units can be used on the
same printer. All that is important from the viewpoint of the model
is that the output units can be separately selected.
2.2.5. Finishers
A finisher is a sub-unit that performs some operations on the media
other than marking. The Finisher Group in the model represents the
finisher sub-units. Some examples of finishing processes are
stapling, punching, binding, inserting, or folding. Finishing
processes may have supplies associated with the process. Stapling,
binding, and punching are examples of processes that have supplies.
A printer may have more than one finishing sub-unit and each
finishing sub-unit may be associated with one or more output sub-
units. Finishers are described in the companion Finisher MIB
[RFC3806].
The model does not specify the exact interaction and sequencing
between an output device and its associated finisher. It depends on
the type of finishing process and the exact implementation of the
printer system. This standard allows for the logical association of
a finishing process with an output device but does not put any
restrictions on the exact sequence or interaction with the associated
output device. The output and finisher sub-units may or may not be
separate identifiable physical mechanisms depending on the exact
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
implementation of a printer. In addition, a single output device may
be associated with multiple finishing sub-units and a single
finishing sub-unit may be associated with multiple output devices.
2.2.6. Markers
A marker is the mechanism that produces marks on the print media.
The Marker Group in the model represents the marker sub-units and
their associated supplies. A printer can contain one or more marking
mechanisms. Some examples of multiple marker sub-units are a printer
with separate markers for normal and magnetic ink or an image setter
that can output to both a proofing device and final film. Each
marking device can have its own set of characteristics associated
with it, such as marking technology and resolution.
In this model the marker sub-unit is viewed as very generalized and
encompasses all aspects of a marking process. For example, in a
xerographic process, the marking process as well as the fusing
process would be included in the generalized concept of the marker.
With the generalized concept of a marking process, the concept of
multiple marking supplies associated with a single marking sub-unit
results. For example, in the xerographic process, there is not only
a supply of toner, but there can also be other supplies such as a
fuser supply (e.g., fuser oil) that can be consumed and replaced
separately. In addition there can be multiple supplies of toner for
a single marker device, as in a color process.
2.2.7. Media Paths
The media paths encompass the mechanisms in the printer that move the
media through the printer and connect all other media related sub-
units: inputs, outputs, markers and finishers. A printer contains
one or more media paths. The Media Path Group in the model
represents these. The Media Path group has some objects that apply
to all paths plus a table of the separate media paths.
In general, the design of the media paths determines the maximum
speed of the printer as well as the maximum media size that the
printer can handle. Media paths are complex mechanisms and can
contain many different identifiable sub-mechanisms such as media
movement devices, media buffers, duplex units and interlocks. Not
all of the various sub-mechanisms reside on every media path. For
example, one media path may provide printing only on one surface of
the media (a simplex path) and another media path may have a sub-
mechanism that turns the media over and feeds it a second time
through the marker sub-unit (a duplex path). The duplex path may
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
even have a buffer sub-mechanism that allows multiple copies of the
obverse side to be held before the reverse side of all the copies is
marked.
2.2.8. System Controller
The System Controller is the sub-unit upon which the software
components of the Printer run. The Host Resources MIB [RFC2790]
represents the System Controller in the model. The Host Resources
MIB allows for the specification of the processor(s), memory, disk
storage, file system and other underlying sub-mechanisms of the
printer. The controller can range from simple single processor
systems to multiprocessor systems. In addition, controllers can have
a full range of resources such as hard disks. The printer is modeled
to have one system controller even though it may have more than one
processor and multiple other resources associated with it.
2.2.9. Interfaces
An interface is the communications port and associated protocols that
are responsible for the transport of data to the printer. A printer
has one or more interface sub-units. The interfaces are represented
by the Interfaces Group of MIB-II [RFC1213], [RFC2863]. Some
examples of interfaces are serial ports (with little or no protocol)
and Ethernet ports on which one might run Internet IP, Novell IPX,
etc.
2.2.10. Print Job Delivery Channels
The print job delivery channel sub-units identify the independent
sources of print data (here print data is the information that is
used to construct printed pages and may have both data and control
aspects). A printer may have one or more channels. The channel sub-
units are represented by the Print Job Delivery Channel Group in the
Model. The electronic path typically identifies each channel and
service protocol used to deliver print data to the printer. A
channel sub-unit may be independently enabled (allowing print data to
flow) or disabled (stopping the flow of print data). It has a
current Control Language that can be used to specify which
interpreter is to be used for the print data and to query and change
environment variables used by the interpreters (and SNMP). There is
also a default interpreter that is to be used if an interpreter is
not explicitly specified using the Control Language. Print Job
Delivery Channel sub-units can, and usually are, based on an
underlying interface.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2.2.11. Interpreters
The interpreter sub-units are responsible for the conversion of a
description of intended print instances into images that are to be
marked on the media. A printer may have one or more interpreters.
The Interpreter Group in the Model represents the interpreter sub-
units. Each interpreter is generally implemented with software
running on the System Controller sub-unit. The Interpreter Table has
one entry per interpreter where the interpreters include both Page
Description Language (PDL) Interpreters and Control Language
Interpreters.
2.2.12. Console
Many printers have a console on the printer, the operator console
that is used to display and modify the state of the printer. The
console can be as simple as a few indicators and switches or as
complicated as full screen displays and keyboards. There can be at
most one such console. The Console Group in the model represents
this console sub-unit. Although most of the information displayed
there is also available in the state of the printer as represented by
the various Groups, it is useful to be able to query and modify the
operator console remotely. For example, a management application
might like to display to its user the current message on the operator
console of the remote printer or the management application user
might like to modify the current message on the operators console of
the remote printer. As another example, one might have a remote
application that puts up a pseudo console on a workstation screen.
Since the rules by which the printer state is mapped onto the console
and vice versa are not standardized, it is not possible to reproduce
the console state or the action of console buttons and menus.
Therefore, the Console Group provides access to the console. The
operator console is usually implemented on the system controller with
additional hardware for input and display.
2.2.13. Alerts
The alert sub-unit is responsible for detecting reportable events,
making an entry in the alert table and, if and only if the event is a
critical event, initiating a trap. The exception to this rule is
when the "alertRemovalofBinaryChangeEntry" trap is generated. The
alert sub-unit is represented by the Alerts Group and, in particular,
the Alert Table. This table contains information on the severity,
sub- unit, and detailed location within the sub-unit, alert code and
description of each alert that is currently active within the
printer. Each reportable event causes an entry to be made in the
Alert Table.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2.2.13.1. Status and Alerts
Summary information about the state of the printer is reported at
three separate levels: (1) The status of the printer as a whole is
reported in the Host Resources MIB, (2) The status of various sub-
units is reported in the principle table of the Group that represents
the sub-unit, and (3) Alert codes are reported in the Alert Table.
2.2.13.2. Overall Printer Status
Of the many states a printer can be in, certain states are more
"interesting" because of the distinct actions they are likely to
provoke in the administrator. These states may be applied to the
printer as a whole, or to a particular sub-unit of the printer.
These named states are:
Non Critical Alert Active - For the printer this means that one or
more sub-units have a non-critical alert active. For a sub-unit,
this means that the sub-unit has a non-critical alert active.
Critical Alert Active - For the printer this means that one or more
sub-units have a critical alert active. For a sub-unit, this means
that the sub-unit has a critical alert active.
Unavailable - The printer or sub-unit is unavailable for use (this is
the same as "broken" or "down" in other terminology). A trained
service person is typically necessary to make it available.
Moving on-line or off-line - The printer is either off-line, in the
process of moving off-line or moving back on-line. For example, on
printers with motorized hoppers, reloading paper involves a
transition to off-line to open the paper bin, filling the hopper and,
finally, a transition back to on-line as the paper bin is
repositioned for printing.
Standby - The printer or sub-unit is not immediately available but
can accept new instructions.
Available - The printer or subunit is functioning normally.
Idle - The printer or subunit is immediately available.
Active - The printer or subunit is performing its primary function.
Busy - The printer or subunit is performing a function (not
necessarily its primary function) and is not immediately available
for its primary function.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
The Host Resources MIB [RFC2790] provides three status objects that
can be used to describe the status of a printer: (1) hrDeviceStatus
in the entry in the hrDeviceTable; (2) hrPrinterStatus in the
hrPrinterTable; and (3) hrPrinterDetectedErrorState in the
hrPrinterTable. These objects describe many of the states that a
printer can be in. The following table shows how the values of the
three printer-related objects in the Host Resources MIB relate to the
states named above:
Printer hrDeviceStatus hrPrinterStatus hrPrinterDetected-
Status ErrorState
Idle running(2) idle(3) none set
Busy/ running(2) printing(4)
Active
Non Critical warning(3) idle(3) or could be: lowPaper,
Alert Active printing(4) lowToner, or
serviceRequested
Critical down(5) other(1) could be: jammed,
Alert Active noPaper, noToner,
coverOpen, or
serviceRequested
Unavailable down(5) other(1)
Moving off- warning(3) idle(3) or offline
line printing(4)
Off-line down(5) other(1) offline
Moving down(5) warmup(5)
on-line
Standby running(2) other(1)
These named states are only a subset of the possible states - they
are not an exhaustive list of the possible states. Nevertheless,
several things should be noted. When using these states, it is not
possible to detect when both critical and non-critical alerts are
pending - if both are pending, the Critical Alert Active state will
prevail. In addition, a printer in the Standby state will be
represented in the Host Resources MIB with a device status of
running(2) and a printer status of other(1), a set of states that
don't uniquely distinguish this important printer state.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 17]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Detailed status per sub-unit is reported in the sub-unit status
fields.
2.2.13.2.1. Host Resources MIB Printer Status
For completeness, the definitions of the Printer Status objects of
the Host Resources MIB [RFC2790] are given below:
hrDeviceStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
unknown(1),
running(2),
warning(3),
testing(4),
down(5)
}
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The current operational state of the device
described by this row of the table. A value
unknown(1) indicates that the current state of the
device is unknown. running(2) indicates that the
device is up and running and that no unusual error
conditions are known. The warning(3) state
indicates that agent has been informed of an
unusual error condition by the operational software
(e.g., a disk device driver) but that the device
is still 'operational'. An example would be high
number of soft errors on a disk. A value of
testing(4), indicates that the device is not
available for use because it is in the testing
state. The state of down(5) is used only when
the agent has been informed that the device is
not available for any use."
::= { hrDeviceEntry 5 }
hrPrinterStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
other(1),

printing(4),
warmup(5)
}
ACCESS read-only

DESCRIPTION
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 18]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
"The current status of this printer device. When in the
idle(3), printing(4), or warmup(5) state, the corresponding
hrDeviceStatus should be running(2) or warning(3). When in
the unknown(2) state, the corresponding hrDeviceStatus
should be unknown(1)."
::= { hrPrinterEntry 1 }
hrPrinterDetectedErrorState OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (0..128)
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"This object represents any error conditions detected by the
printer. The error conditions are encoded as an OCTET STRING
with the following definitions:
Condition Bit #
lowPaper 0
noPaper 1
lowToner 2
noToner 3
doorOpen 4
jammed 5
offline 6
serviceRequested 7
inputTrayMissing 8
outputTrayMissing 9

Bit # 15 is not assigned.
If multiple conditions are currently detected and the
hrDeviceStatus would not otherwise be unknown(1) or
testing(4), the hrDeviceStatus shall correspond to the worst
state of those indicated, where down(5) is worse than
warning(3), which is worse than running(2).
Bits are numbered starting with the most significant bit of
the first byte being bit 0, the least significant bit of the
first byte being bit 7, the most significant bit of the
second byte being bit 8, and so on. A one bit encodes that
the condition was detected, while a zero bit encodes that
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
the condition was not detected.
This object is useful for alerting an operator to specific
warning or error conditions that may occur, especially those
requiring human intervention."
::= { hrPrinterEntry 2 }
2.2.13.2.2. Sub-unit Status
Sub-unit status is reported in the entries of the principle table in
the Group that represents the sub-unit. For sub-units that report a
status, there is a status column in the table and the value of this
column is always an integer formed in the following way.
The PrtSubUnitStatusTC is an integer that is the sum of 5 distinct
values, Availability, Non-Critical, Critical, On-line, and
Transitioning. These values are:
Availability value
Available and Idle 0 000'b
Available and Standby 2 010'b
Available and Active 4 100'b
Available and Busy 6 110'b
Unavailable and OnRequest 1 001'b
Unavailable because Broken 3 011'b
Unknown 5 101'b
Non-Critical
No Non-Critical Alerts 0
Non-Critical Alerts 8
Critical
No Critical Alerts 0
Critical Alerts 16
On-Line
State is On-Line 0
State is Off-Line 32
Transitioning
At intended state 0
Transitioning to intended state 64
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 20]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
For example, an input (tray) that jammed on the next to the last page
may show a status of 27 (unavailable because broken (3) + a critical
state (16), jammed, and a noncritical state (8), low paper).
2.2.13.3. Alert Tables
The Alert Group consists of a single table in which all active alerts
are represented. This section provides an overview of the table and
a description of how it is managed. The basic content of the alert
table is the severity (critical or non-critical) of the alert, the
Group and entry where a state change caused the alert, additional
information about the alert (a more detailed location, an alert code,
and a description), and an indication of the level of training needed
to service the alert.
The Alert Table contains some information that is redundant, for
example that an event has occurred, and some information that is only
represented in the Alert Table, for example the additional
information. A single table was used because a single entry in a
group could cause more than one alert, for example paper jams in more
than one place in a media path. Associating the additional
information with the entry in the affected group would only allow one
report where associating the additional information with the alert
makes multiple reports possible. Every time an alert occurs in the
printer, the printer makes one or more entries into the Alert Table.
The printer determines if an event is to be classified as critical or
non-critical. If the severity of the Alert is "critical", the
printer sends a trap or event notification to the host indicating
that the table has changed. Whether or not a trap is sent, the
management application is expected to poll the printer on a regular
basis and to read and parse the table to determine what conditions
have changed, in order to provide reliable information to the
management application user.
2.2.13.4. Alert Table Management
The alert tables are sparsely populated tables. This means the
tables will only contain entries of the alerts that are currently
active and the number of rows, or entries in the table will be
dynamic. More than one event can be added or removed from the event
tables at a time depending on the implementation of the printer.
There are basically two kinds of events that produce alerts: binary
change events and unary change events. Binary change events come in
pairs: the leading edge event and the trailing edge event. The
leading edge event enters a state from which there is only one exit;
for example, going from running to stopped with a paper jam. The
only exit from this state is fixing the paper jam and it is clear
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 21]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
when that is accomplished. The trailing edge event exits the state
that was entered by the leading edge event. In the example above,
fixing the paper jam is the trailing edge event.
It is relatively straightforward to manage binary change events in
the Alert Table. Only the leading edge event makes an entry in the
alert table. This entry persists in the Alert Table until the
trailing edge event occurs at which point this event is signaled by
the removal of the leading edge event entry in the Alert Table. That
is, a trailing edge event does not create an entry; it removes the
corresponding leading edge event. Removing the leading edge entry
may cause the unary change event "alertRemovalofBinaryChangeEntry" to
be added to the table. With binary change events it is possible to
compute the maximum number that can occur at the same time and
construct an Alert Table that would hold that many events. There
would be no possibility of table overflow and no information about
outstanding events would be lost.
Unfortunately, there are some events that are not binary changes.
This other category of event, the unary change event, is illustrated
by the configuration change event. With this kind of event the state
of the machine has changed, but to a state which is (often) just as
valid as the state that was left and from which no return is
necessary. For example, an operator may change the paper that is in
the primary input source from letter to legal. At some time in the
future the paper may be changed back to letter, but it might be
changed to executive instead. This is where the problem occurs. It
is not obvious how long to keep unary change event entries in the
Alert Table. If they were never removed, the Alert Table would
continue to grow indefinitely.
The agent needs to have an algorithm implemented for the management
of the alert table, especially in the face of combinations of binary
and unary alerts that would overflow the storage capacity of the
table. When the table is full and new alerts need to be added, an
old alert to be deleted should be chosen using the following rules:
1. Find a non-critical unary alert and delete it. If there are
multiple non-critical unary alerts, it is suggested that the
oldest one is chosen. If there are no non-critical unary alerts,
then,
2. Find a non-critical binary alert and delete it. If there are
multiple non-critical binary alerts, it is suggested that the
oldest one is chosen. If there are no non-critical binary alerts,
then,
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
3. Find a critical (binary) alert and delete it. If there are
multiple critical alerts, it is suggested that the oldest one be
chosen. Agent implementers are encouraged to provide at least
enough storage space for the maximum number of critical alerts
that could occur simultaneously. Note that all critical alerts
are binary.
In the event that a critical binary alert has been deleted out of the
alert table; when space allows and the alert condition still exists,
the alert should be re-added to the alert table even if there was no
subsequent transition into the associated state. It is recommended
that this be done for non-critical binary alerts as well. Note that
the new alert entry will not have the same index as the original
entry that was moved out of the table.
Note that because the Alert Index is a monotonically increasing
integer there will be gaps in the values in the table when an alert
is deleted. The management application may want to re-acquire the
Printer state and check for state changes that it did not observe in
the Alert Table if such gaps are detected.
2.3. Read-Write Objects
Some objects in the printer MIB reflect the existence or amount of a
given resource within the printer. Some examples of such resources
are the size and number of sheets in a paper tray or the existence of
certain output options. Some printers have automatic sensors for
these resources. Most printers lack sensors for every property of
every resource. The management application is allowed to write into
objects that hold descriptive or existence values for printers that
cannot sense these values. The ability to change the value of a
read- write object may depend on the implementation of the agent.
Many objects in the MIB are given read-write access, but a printer
implementation might only permit a management application to change
the value if the printer can not sense the value itself. Note that
even though some objects explicitly state the behavior of conditional
ability to change values, any read-write object may act this way.
Generally, an object is given read-write access in the Printer MIB
specification if:
1. The object involves installation of a resource that some printers
cannot themselves detect. Therefore, external means are needed to
inform the printer of the installation. (Here external means
include using the operator console, or remote management
application) and
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2. The printer will behave differently if the installation of the
resource is reported than the printer would if the installation
were not reported; that is, the object is not to be used as a
place to put information not used by the printer, i.e., not a
"sticky-note". Another way of saying this is that the printer
believes that information given it and acts as if the information
were true. For example, on a printer that cannot sense the size,
if one paper size is loaded, but another size is set into the
paper size object, then the printer will use the size that was set
as its current paper size in its imaging and paper handling.
3. The printer may get hints that it may not know about the existence
or properties of certain resources. For example, a paper tray may
be removed and re-inserted. When this removal and insertion
happens, the printer may either assume that a property, such as
the size of paper in the tray, has not changed or the printer may
change the value of the associated object to "unknown", as might
be done for the amount of paper in the tray. As long as the
printer acts according to the value in the object either strategy
is acceptable.
4. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether or not MIB
object values are persistent across power cycles or cold starts.
It is particularly important that the values of the
prtMarkerLifeCount object persist throughout the lifetime of the
printer. Therefore, if the value of any MIB object persists
across power cycles, then the prtMarkerLifeCount object must also
persist.
2.4. Enumerations
Enumerations (enums) are sets of symbolic values defined for use with
one or more objects. Commonly used enumeration sets are assigned a
symbolic data type name (textual convention), rather than being
specified in the SYNTAX clause of each individual object definition.
Textual conventions defined in the Printer MIB or the companion IANA
Printer MIB are extensible by RFC publication or by Designated Expert
Review (see the 'IANA Considerations' section of this Printer MIB and
the DESCRIPTION clause in MODULE-IDENTITY of IANA Printer MIB). All
of these textual conventions are:
a) used more than once in the Printer MIB itself; or
b) imported and used in the companion Finisher MIB; or
c) imported and used in any other, including vendor private, MIB
modules.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 24]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
The Printer MIB has also defined the following special values for use
with objects of the syntax "Integer32" to define conditions that are
outside of the normal numeric range: other(-1), unknown(-2), and
partial(-3). The 'partial' value means that there is some supply
remaining (but the amount is indeterminate) or there is some capacity
remaining (but the amount is indeterminate). The Integer32 range
field indicates in which objects these special values are valid.
2.4.1. Registering Additional Enumerated Values
The Printer MIB and the companion IANA Printer MIB each defines one
category of textual convention, according to the process employed to
control the addition of new enumerations:
Type 1 - All of the legal values are defined in the Printer MIB.
Additional enumerated values require the publication of a new Printer
MIB.
Type 2 - All of the legal values are registered in the IANA Printer
MIB. Additional enumerated values require a Designated Expert Review
defined in "Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in
RFCs" [RFC2434]. The Designated Expert will be selected by the IETF
Area Director(s) of the Applications Area.
3. Groups from other MIB Specifications
This section identifies the groups from other MIBs that shall be
supported to supplement and complete a printer MIB implementation.
The section also describes some of the less obvious characteristics
of the Printer MIB structure that are related to the inclusion of
these other MIB groups.
3.1. System Group
All objects in the system group of MIB-II [RFC1213] shall be
implemented; however, as described in paragraph 2.4, implementers
should carefully consider what constitutes the "system".
3.2. System Controller
The storage and device groups of the Host Resources MIB [RFC2790]
shall be implemented to support the printer(s) system controller, and
any supporting devices. If deemed appropriate by the implementer,
other groups of the Host Resources MIB (System, Running Software,
Running Software Performance, and Installed Software) may be
implemented. Because of the structure of the Host Resources MIB, the
devices constituting the system controller are at the same level as
the printer.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 25]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
3.3. Interface Group objects
All objects in the Interfaces Group of MIB-II [RFC1213] shall be
implemented for all print information interfaces to the printer,
including non-network interfaces.
3.3.1. Interface Types
The interfaces group of RFC 1213 [RFC1213] contains only a partial
list of interface types that can be specified in the "ifType" object.
For a complete list of interface types, refer to the IANA registry at
"ftp://ftp.isi.edu/mib/iana.mib/ianaiftype.mib"
4. Differences from RFC 1759
This document supersedes and replaces RFC 1759. However, a compliant
implementation of RFC 1759 is also compliant with this document. The
following changes to RFC 1759 are included: (See the printmib
REVISION/DESCRIPTION clause for additional details of changes.)
- Minor editorial corrections and changes. Updated the cover page
and added the "SNMP Management Framework" boilerplate to section
1.
- Updated figure 2 to use MIB names instead of RFC numbers.
- Updated Coded Character Set description and IANA registration
process.
- Change hrPrinterDetectedErrorState "coverOpen" (bit 4) to
"doorOpen" per RFC 2790.
- Added second octet of hrPrinterDetectedErrorState as partially
described and assigned in the updated Host Resources MIB (RFC
2790).
- Remove fixed association of hrDeviceStatus (warning/down) from
hrPrinterDetetctedErrorState per RFC 2790.
- Instead of showing bit 15 as "not assigned" in the quote from RFC
2790 in the hrPrinterDetectedErrorState object, removed that from
the tabular form and added it as a sentence, because the RFC
doesn't show bit 15 in the tabular form.
- Clarified the international considerations.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 26]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
- Added prtChannelInformation to the Channel Group textual-
conventions on a per channel basis to clarify the channel
description and enhance interoperability.

(prtAuxiliarySheetStartupPage, prtAuxiliarySheetBannerPage,
prtGeneralPrinterName, prtGeneralSerialNumber,
prtAlertCriticalEvents, prtAlertAllEvents,
prtInputMediaLoadTimeout, prtInputNextIndex,
prtChannelInformation). Created one new NOTIFICATION-GROUP
(prtAlertTrapGroup) to contain printerV2Alert. Included the new
OBJECT-GROUPs and the NOTIFICATION_GROUP in prtMIBCompliance, all
in GROUP (not MANDATORY-GROUP) clauses. The nine new objects are
optional, i.e., this document is backward compatible with RFC
1759.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 27]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
- prtAlertTime is strongly recommended.
- Deprecated the use of alert codes doorOpen(501) and
doorClosed(502), in favor of coverOpened(3) and coverClosed(4).
- Added the PrtConsoleDisableTC and PrtMarkerAddressabilityUnitTC
textual conventions, and changed the PrtConsoleDisable and
PrtMarkerAddressabilityUnit objects' syntax to use those TCs, and
changed the PrtGeneralEntry and PrtMarkerColorantEntry SEQUENCEs
to reflect the new syntax.
- Added textual conventions "PrtLocalizedDescriptionStringTC" and
"PrtConsoleDescriptionStringTC" and updated several objects to use
them.

groups.
- Added Appendix E - Overall Printer Status Table.
- Updated participant and contact information.
- Removed CodedCharSet Textual Convention, replaced with an import
of the IANACharset.
- Removed all comment statements that indicated objects or groups
are mandatory or optional. Avoids any potential conflicts with
the conformance section.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 28]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
- Added text to empty description clauses. (prtStorageRefTable,
prtDeviceRefTable, prtMarkerTable, prtMediaPathTable,

conventions in this MIB and others. Also added a note defining
the common usage of the enumerations 'other(-1)' and 'unknown(-2)'
- Changed range of prtStorageRefSeqNumber, prtDeviceRefSeqNumber,
and prtConsoleLightIndex from (0..65535) to (1..65535) since index
values cannot be zero. (Typo in RFC 1759)
- The PWG Standard for Standardized Media Names is now recommended
for the objects prtInputMediaName, prtInputMediaColor, and
prtInputMediaType.
- Added chSMTP(45) to prtChannelTypeTC.

DESCRIPTION
"The level of training required to handle this alert, if
human intervention is required. The noInterventionRequired
value should be used if the event does not require any human
intervention. The training level is an enumeration that is
determined and assigned by the printer manufacturer based on
the information or training required to handle this alert.
The printer will break alerts into these different training
levels. It is the responsibility of a management application
in the system to determine how a particular alert is handled
and how and to whom that alert is routed. The following are
the four training levels of alerts:
Field Service - Alerts that typically require advanced
training and technical knowledge of the printer and its
subunits. An example of a technical person would be a
manufacturer's Field Service representative, or other
person formally trained by the manufacturer or similar
representative.
Trained - Alerts that require an intermediate or moderate
knowledge of the printer and its subunits. A typical
example of such an alert is replacing a toner cartridge.
Untrained - Alerts that can be fixed without prior
training either because the action to correct the alert
is obvious or the printer can help the untrained person
fix the problem. A typical example of such an alert is
reloading paper trays or emptying output bins on a low
end printer.
Management - Alerts that have to do with overall operation
of and configuration of the printer. Examples of such
management events are configuration change of subunits."

the table. Binary change event alerts describe states of the
subunit while unary change event alerts describe a single
event. The same alert code can be used for a binary change
event or a unary change event, depending on implementation.
Also, the same alert code can be used to indicate a critical
or non-critical (warning) alert, depending on implementation.
The value of prtAlertSeverityLevel specifies binary vs. unary
and critical vs. non-critical for each event for the
implementation.
While there are some specific codes for many subunits, the
generic codes should be used for most subunit alerts. The
network management station can then query the subunit
specified by prtAlertGroup to determine further subunit
status and other subunit information.
An agent shall not add two entries to the alert table for the
same event, one containing a generic event code and the other
containing a specific event code; the agent shall add only
one entry in the alert table for each event; either generic
(preferred) or specific, not both.
Implementation of the unary change event
alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801) is optional. When
implemented, this alert code shall indicate to network
management stations that the trailing edge of a binary change
event has occurred and the corresponding alert entry has been
removed from the alert table. As with all events, the
alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801) alert shall be placed
at the end of the alert table. Such an alert table entry
shall specify the following information:
prtAlertSeverityLevel warningUnaryChangeEvent(4)
prtAlertTrainingLevel noInterventionRequired(7)
prtAlertGroup alert(18)
prtAlertGroupIndex the index of the row in the
alert table of the binary
change event that this event

Optionally, the agent may generate a trap coincident with

removing the binary change event and placing the unary change
event alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801) in the alert

REVISION "200406020000Z"
DESCRIPTION
"Printer MIB v2.
Moved all enum groups to be maintained by IANA into new TCs
within the ianaPrinterMIB, which is contained in this
document.
New TCs created from enums defined within RFC 1759 Objects:
PrtPrintOrientationTC, PrtLocalizedDescriptionStringTC,
PrtConsoleDescriptionStringTC, PrtChannelStateTC,
PrtOutputStackingOrderTC, PrtOutputPageDeliveryOrientationTC,
PrtMarkerCounterUnitTC, PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC,
PrtMarkerSuppliesClassTC, PrtMarkerAddressabilityUnitTC,
PrtMarkerColorantRoleTC, PrtMediaPathMaxSpeedPrintUnitTC,
PrtInterpreterTwoWayTC, and PrtAlertSeverityLevelTC.
The following four TCs have been deprecated:
MediaUnit (replaced by PrtMediaUnitTC),
CapacityUnit (replaced by PrtCapacityUnitTC),
SubUnitStatus (replaced by PrtSubUnitStatusTC),
CodedCharSet (replaced by IANACharset in IANA Charset MIB)
Five new OBJECT-GROUPs: prtAuxilliarySheetGroup,
prtInputSwitchingGroup, prtGeneralV2Group,
prtAlertTableV2Group, prtChannelV2Group.
Nine new objects added to those groups:
prtAuxiliarySheetStartupPage, prtAuxiliarySheetBannerPage,
prtGeneralPrinterName, prtGeneralSerialNumber,
prtAlertCriticalEvents, prtAlertAllEvents,
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 57]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
prtInputMediaLoadTimeout, prtInputNextIndex,
prtChannelInformation.
SYNTAX range changed from (0..65535) to (1..65535) for the
index objects prtStorageRefSeqNumber, prtDeviceRefSeqNumber,
and prtConsoleLightIndex.
SYNTAX range changed from (0..65535) to (0..2147483647) for the
objects prtStorageRefIndex and prtDeviceRefIndex to agree
with the Host Resources MIB.
Defined a range for the objects with a SYNTAX of Integer32:
prtOutputDefaultIndex, prtInputMediaDimFeedDirDeclared,
prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirDeclared, prtInputMaxCapacity,
prtInputCurrentLevel, prtInputMediaDimFeedDirChosen,
prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirChosen, prtInputMediaWeight,
prtInputMediaFormParts, prtOutputIndex,
prtOutputMaxCapacity, prtOutputRemainingCapacity,
prtOutputMaxDimFeedDir, prtOutputMaxDimXFeedDir,
prtOutputMinDimFeedDir, prtOutputMinDimXFeedDir,
prtMarkerAddressibilityFeedDir,
prtMarkerAddressibilityXFeedDir, prtMarkerNorthMargin,
prtMarkerSouthMargin, prtMarkerWestMargin,
prtMarkerEastMargin, prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity,
prtMarkerSuppliesLevel, prtMarkerColorantTonality,
prtMediaPathMaxSpeed, prtMediaPathMaxMediaFeedDir,
prtMediaPathMaxMediaXFeedDir, prtMediaPathMinMediaFeedDir,
prtMediaPathMinMediaXFeedDir, prtChannelIndex,
prtChannelCurrentJobCntlLangIndex, prtInterpreterIndex,
prtChannelDefaultPageDescLangIndex, prtConsoleOnTime,
prtInterpreterFeedAddressibility, prtConsoleOffTime,
prtInterpreterXFeedAddressibility, prtAlertIndex,
prtAlertGroupIndex, prtAlertLocation.
Changed SYNTAX from Integer32 to InterfaceIndexOrZero for
prtChannelIfIndex.
Changed MAX-ACCESS of prtAlertIndex from not-accessible to
Read-only and added a compliance statement to allow a
MIN-ACCESS of accessible-for-notify.
One new NOTIFICATION-GROUP: prtAlertTrapGroup which contains
printerV2Alert.
In MODULE-COMPLIANCE prtMIBCompliance, new OBJECT-GROUPs and
the NOTIFICATION_GROUP, all in GROUP (not MANDATORY-GROUP)
clauses. The nine new objects are optional, i.e., this
document is backward compatible with RFC 1759."

applications may cache infrequently changed configuration
information about sub units within the printer. This object

-- (LPD), offering services over a network connection; or

-- It is easy to note that this is a mixed bag. There are
-- some physical connections over which no (or very meager)
-- protocols are run (e.g., the serial or old parallel ports)
-- and there are services which often have elaborate
-- protocols that run over a number of protocol stacks. In
-- the end, what is important is the delivery of print data
-- through the channel.
--
-- The print job delivery channel sub-units are represented by
-- the Print Job Delivery Channel Group in the Model. It has a
-- current print job control language, which can be used to
-- specify which interpreter is to be used for the print data and
-- to query and change environment variables used by the
-- interpreters (and Management Applications). There is also a
-- default interpreter that is to be used if an interpreter is
-- not explicitly specified using the Control Language.
-- The first seven items in the Print Job Delivery Channel Table
-- define the "channel" itself. A channel typically depends on
-- other protocols and interfaces to provide the data that flows
-- through the channel.
--
-- Control of a print job delivery channel is largely limited to
-- enabling or disabling the entire channel itself. It is likely
-- that more control of the process of accessing print data
-- will be needed over time. Thus, the ChannelType will
-- allow type-specific data to be associated with each
-- channel (using ChannelType specific groups in a fashion
-- analogous to the media specific MIBs that are associated
-- with the IANAIfType in the Interfaces Table). As a first
-- step in this direction, each channel will identify the
-- underlying Interface on which it is based. This is the
-- eighth object in each row of the table.

DESCRIPTION
"Auxiliary information to allow a printing application to use
the channel for data submission to the printer. An application
capable of using a specific PrtChannelType should be able to
use the combined information from the prtChannelInformation and
other channel and interface group objects to 'bootstrap' its
use of the channel. prtChannelInformation is not intended to
provide a general channel description, nor to provide
information that is available once the channel is in use.
The encoding and interpretation of the prtChannelInformation
object is specific to channel type. The description of each
PrtChannelType enum value for which prtChannelInformation is
defined specifies the appropriate encoding and interpretation,
including interaction with other objects. For channel types
that do not specify a prtChannelInformation value, its value
shall be null (0 length).
When a new PrtChannelType enumeration value is registered, its
accompanying description must specify the encoding and
interpretation of the prtChannelInformation value for the
channel type. prtChannelInformation semantics for an existing
PrtChannelType may be added or amended in the same manner as
described in section 2.4.1 for type 2 enumeration values.
The prtChannelInformation specifies values for a collection of
channel attributes, represented as text according to the
following rules:
1. The prtChannelInformation is not affected by localization.
2. The prtChannelInformation is a list of entries representing
the attribute values. Each entry consists of the following
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 118]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
items, in order:
a. A keyword, composed of alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z)
represented by their NVT ASCII [RFC854] codes, that
identifies a channel attribute,
b. The NVT ASCII code for an Equals Sign (=) (code 61) to
delimit the keyword,
c. A data value encoded using rules specific to the
PrtChannelType to with the prtChannelInformation applies which
must in no case allow an octet with value 10 (the NVT ASCII
Line Feed code),
d. the NVT ASCII code for a Line Feed character (code 10) to
delimit the data value.
No other octets shall be present.
Keywords are case-sensitive. Conventionally, keywords are
capitalized (including each word of a multi-word keyword) and
since they occupy space in the prtChannelInformation, they are
kept short.
3. If a channel attribute has multiple values, it is
represented by multiple entries with the same keyword, each
specifying one value. Otherwise, there shall be at most one
entry for each attribute.
4. By default, entries may appear in any order. If there are
ordering constraints for particular entries, these must be
specified in their definitions.
5. The prtChannelInformation value by default consists of text
represented by NVT ASCII graphics character codes. However,
other representations may be specified:
a. In cases where the prtChannelInformation value contains
information not normally coded in textual form, whatever
symbolic representation is conventionally used for the
information should be used for encoding the
prtChannelInformation value. (For instance, a binary port value
might be represented as a decimal number using NVT ASCII
codes.) Such encoding must be specified in the definition of
the value.
b. The value may contain textual information in a character set
other than NVT ASCII graphics characters. (For instance, an
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 119]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
identifier might consist of ISO 10646 text encoded using the
UTF-8 encoding scheme.) Such a character set and its encoding
must be specified in the definition of the value.
6. For each PrtChannelType for which prtChannelInformation
entries are defined, the descriptive text associated with the
PrtChannelType enumeration value shall specify the following
information for each entry:
Title: Brief description phrase, e.g.: 'Port name',
'Service Name', etc.
Keyword: The keyword value, e.g.: 'Port' or 'Service'
Syntax: The encoding of the entry value if it cannot be
directly represented by NVT ASCII.
Status: 'Mandatory', 'Optional', or 'Conditionally
Mandatory'
Multiplicity: 'Single' or 'Multiple' to indicate whether the
entry may be present multiple times.
Description: Description of the use of the entry, other
information required to complete the definition
(e.g.: ordering constraints, interactions between
entries).
Applications that interpret prtChannelInformation should ignore
unrecognized entries, so they are not affected if new entry
types are added."

DESCRIPTION
"The index value used to determine which alerts have been added
or removed from the alert table. This is an incrementing
integer initialized to 1 when the printer is reset. (i.e., The
first event placed in the alert table after a reset of the
printer shall have an index value of 1.) When the printer adds
an alert to the table, that alert is assigned the next higher
integer value from the last item entered into the table. If
the index value reaches its maximum value, the next index value
used must be 1.
NOTE: The management application will read the alert table when
a trap or event notification occurs or at a periodic rate and
then parse the table to determine if any new entries were added
by comparing the last known index value with the current
highest index value. The management application will then
update its copy of the alert table. When the printer discovers
that an alert is no longer active, the printer shall remove the
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 130]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
row for that alert from the table and shall reduce the number
of rows in the table. The printer may add or delete any number
of rows from the table at any time. The management station can
detect when binary change alerts have been deleted by
requesting an attribute of each alert, and noting alerts as
deleted when that retrieval is not possible. The objects
'prtAlertCriticalEvents'and 'prtAlertAllEvents' in the
'prtGeneralTable' reduce the need for management applications
to scan the 'prtAlertTable'.

7. IANA Considerations
The initial version the IANA Printer MIB defined in section 5 of this
document is to be archived by IANA and subsequently maintained
according to the Process specified in section 2.4.1 of this document.
The most current and authoritative version of the IANA Printer MIB is
available at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaprinter-mib
8. Internationalization Considerations
See section 2.2.1.1, 'International Considerations'.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 147]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
9. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such
objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
network operations. These are the tables and objects and their
sensitivity/vulnerability:
prtGeneralTable:
prtGeneralCurrentLocalization - Possible data loss
prtGeneralReset - Possible data loss
prtGeneralCurrentOperator - Possible severe inconvenience
prtGeneralServicePerson - Possible severe inconvenience
prtInputDefaultIndex - Possible data loss

SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
in this MIB module.
It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
authentication and privacy).
Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operator
responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
Where the operational capability of the printing device are
especially vulnerable or difficult to administer, certain objects
within this MIB have been tagged as READ-ONLY, preventing
modification. Further, for all READ-WRITE objects within the MIB,
the working group has included specific conformance guidelines
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 149]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
stating that vendors are free to implement these objects as READ-
ONLY. This conformance allowance should cover cases where specific
vendor vulnerabilities may differ from product to product. (See
conformance section with regards to MIN-ACCESS clauses).

RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Appendix A - Glossary of Terms
Addressability - On the marker, the number of distinct marking units
(pels) per unit of addressability unit that can be set; for example,
300 dots per inch is expressed as 300 per 1000 Thousandths Of Inches
and 4 dots per millimeter is 4 per 1000 Micrometers. Addressability
is not resolution because marks that are one addressability position
apart may not be independently resolvable by the eye due to factors
such as gain in the area of marks so they overlap or nearly touch.
Alert - A reportable event for which there is an entry in the alert
table.
Bin - An output sub-unit which may or may not be removable.
Binary Change Event - An event which comes in pairs; the leading edge
event and the trailing edge event. The leading edge event enters a
state from which there is only one exit. A binary change event may
be critical or non-critical. See unary change event.
Bursting - The process by which continuous media is separated into
individual sheets, typically by bursting along pre-formed
perforations.
Channel - A term used to describe a single source of data which is
presented to a printer. The model that we use in describing a
printer allows for an arbitrary number of channels. Multiple
channels can exist on the same physical port. This is commonly done
over Ethernet ports where EtherTalk, TCP/IP, and SPX/IPX protocols
can be supplying different data streams simultaneously to a single
printer on the same physical port.
Collation - In multiple copy output, placing the pages from separate
copies into separate ordered sets, ready for binding.
Control Language - A data syntax or language for controlling the
printer through the print data channel.
Critical Alert - An alert triggered by an event which leads to a
state in which printing is no longer possible; the printer is
stopped.
Decollating - The process by which the individual parts within a
multi-part form are separated and sorted into separate stacks for
each part.
Description - Information about the configuration and capabilities of
the printer and its various sub-units.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 153]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
DPA - ISO 10175 Document Printing Application standard. A standard
for a client server protocol for a print system, including (1)
submitting print jobs to and (2) managing print jobs in a spooler.
Event - A state change in the printer.
Group - A collection of objects that represent a type of sub-unit of
the printer.
Host Resources MIB - See [RFC2790].
IANA - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. See [RFC3232].
Idempotent - Idempotence is the property of an operation that results
in the same state no matter how many times it is executed (at least
once). This is a property that is shared by true databases in which
operations on data items only change the state of the data item and
do not have other side effects. Because the SNMP data model is that
of operations on a database, SNMP MIB objects should be assumed to be
idempotent. If a MIB object is defined in a non-idempotent way, the
this data model can break in subtle ways when faced with packet loss,
multiple managers, and other common conditions.
In order to fulfill the common need for actions to result from
SNMP Set operations, SNMP MIB objects can be modeled such that the
change in state from one state to another has the side effect of
causing an action. It is important to note that with this model,
an SNMP operation that sets a value equal to its current value
will cause no action. This retains the idempotence of a single
command, while allowing actions to be initiated by SNMP SET
requests.
Input - A tray or bin from which instances of the media are obtained
and fed into the Media Path.
Interpreter - The embodiment of an algorithm that processes a data
stream consisting of a Page Description Language (PDL) and/or a
Control Language.
Localization - The specification of human language, country, and
character set needed to present information to people in their native
languages.
Management Application (a.k.a. Manager) - A program which queries and
controls one or more managed nodes.
Management Station - A physical computer on which one or more
management applications can run.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 154]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Media Path - The mechanisms that transport instances of the media
from an input, through the marker, possibly through media buffers and
duplex pathways, out to the output with optional finishing applied.
The inputs and outputs are not part of the Media Path.
Non-critical Alert - An alert triggered by a reportable event which
does not lead to a state in which printing is no longer possible;
such an alert may lead to a state from which printing may no longer
be possible in the future, such as the low toner state or the alert
may be pure informational, such as a configuration change at the
printer.
Output - A bin or stacker which accepts instances of media that have
been processed by a printer.
Page Description Language (PDL) - A data syntax or language for the
electronic representation of a document as a sequence of page images.
Printer - A physical device that takes media from an input source,
produces marks on that media according to some page description or
page control language and puts the result in some output destination,
possibly with finishing applied.
Printing - The entire process of producing a printed document from
generation of the file to be printed, choosing printing properties,
selection of a printer, routing, queuing, resource management,
scheduling, and finally printing including notifying the user.
Reportable event - An event that is deemed of interest to a
management station watching the printer.
Status - Information regarding the current operating state of the
printer and its various sub-units. This is an abstraction of the
exact physical condition of the printer.
Sub-mechanism - A distinguishable part of a sub-unit.
Sub-unit - A part of the printer which may be a physical part, such
as one of the input sources or a logical part such as an interpreter.
Tray - An input sub-unit which is typically removable.
Unary Change Event - An event that indicates a change of state of the
printer, but to a state which is (often) just as valid as the state
that was left, and from which no return is necessary. See binary
change event.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 155]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Visible state - The portion of the state of the printer that can be
examined by a management application.
Warning - A non-critical alert. See non-critical alert.
Appendix B - Media Size Names
The PWG Standardized Media Names specification [PWGMEDIA], section 5
Self Describing Names, contains the currently recommended media size
names. This appendix lists the standardized media size names from
ISO/IEC 10175 Document Printing Application (DPA), [ISO10175] as
presented in RFC 1759. Management applications are encouraged to use
the names from the PWG standard. However, many legacy systems exist
that use the DPA names and they are presented here for the
convenience of developers.
A printer implementing the Printer MIB has no knowledge of these
names, however; all media sizes in the MIB are given in terms of
media dimensions as the values of prtInputMediaDimFeedDirChosen and
prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirChosen.

RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Appendix C - Media Names
For the convenience of management application developers, this
appendix lists the standardized media names from ISO/IEC 10175
Document Printing Application (DPA), [ISO10175]. Management
applications that present a dialogue for choosing media may wish to
use these names as an alternative to separately specifying, size,
color, and/or type. New names may also be created using this format
and the names defined in the PWG Standardized Media Names
specification [PWGMEDIA].
Using standard media names will mean that a single management
application dealing with printers from different vendors and under
different system mangers will tend to use the same names for the same
media. If selection of media by name is used, the attributes (size,
type or color) implied by the name must be explicitly mapped to the
appropriate object (prtInputMediaDimFeedDirDeclared,
prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirDeclared, prtInputMediaType and
prtInputMediaColor) in the MIB. The object prtInputMediaName is
intended for display to an operator and is purely descriptive. The
value in prtInputMediaName is not interpreted by the printer so using
a standard name for this value will not change any of the other media
attributes nor will it cause an alert if the media in the input sub-
unit does not match the name.

Appendix D - Roles of Users
Background
The need for "Role Models" stemmed in large part from the need to
understand the importance of any given proposed object for the MIB.
Many times the real world need for a proposed object would be debated
within the group; the debate would typically result in the need to
describe the potential usage of the object in terms of a "live"
person performing some type of printing-related task.
Determining the value of a proposed object through identification of
the associated human users was found to be so common that a more
formalized model was required for consistent analysis. The model
describing categories of human-oriented tasks is called "Role Models"
in this document.
In developing the Role Models it was necessary to identify the
common, primary tasks that humans typically face when interacting
with a printer and its related printing system(s). It was expected
that certain kinds of tasks would serve to identify the various Role
Models.
In presenting the set of Role Models, the set of "Common Print System
Tasks" are first presented, followed by the set of Role Model
definitions. Finally, a simple matrix is presented in which Role
Models and Tasks are cross-compared.
Common Print System Tasks
Upon researching the many tasks encountered by humans in dealing with
printers and printing systems, the following were found to be
pervasive within any operating environment:
Printer job state - Determine the status of a job without a printer.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 162]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Printer capabilities - Determine the current capabilities of a
printer, for example, the available media sizes, two-sided printing,
a particular type of interpreter, etc.
Printer job submission - Submit a print job to a printer.
Printer job removal - Remove a job from a printer.
Notification of events - Receive notification of the existence of a
defined printer event. An event can be of many types, including
warnings, errors, job stage completion (e.g., "job done"), etc.
Printer configuration - Query the current configuration of a printer.
Printer consumables - Determine the current state of any and all
consumables within a printer.
Print job identification - Determine the identification of a job
within a printer.
Internal printer status - Determine the current status of the
printer.
Printer identification - Determine the identity of a printer.
Printer location - Determine the physical location of a printer.
Local system configuration - Determine various aspects of the current
configuration of the local system involved with the operation of a
printer.
These "tasks" cover a large spectrum of requirements surrounding the
operation of a printer in a network environment. This list serves as
the basis for defining the various Role Models described below.
Proposed Role Models
Following is the list of "Role Models" used to evaluate the
requirements for any given Printer MIB object. Note that the keyword
enclosed in parentheses represents an abbreviation for the particular
Role Model in the matrix described later in this document.
User (USER) - A person or application that submits print jobs to the
printer; typically viewed as the "end user" within the overall
printing environment.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 163]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
Operator (OP) - A person responsible for maintaining a printer on a
day-to-day basis, including such tasks as filling empty media trays,
emptying full output trays, replacing toner cartridges, clearing
simple paper jams, etc.
Technician (TECH) - A person responsible for repairing a
malfunctioning printer, performing routine preventive maintenance,
and other tasks that typically require advanced training on the
printer internals. An example of a "technician" would be a
manufacturer's Field Service representative, or other person formally
trained by the manufacturer or similar representative.
System Manager (MGR) - A person responsible for configuration and
troubleshooting of components involved in the overall printing
environment, including printers, print queues and network
connectivity issues. This person is typically responsible for
ensuring the overall operational integrity of the print system
components, and is typically viewed as the central point of
coordination among all other Role Models.
Help Desk (HELP) - A person responsible for supporting Users in
their printing needs, including training Users and troubleshooting
Users' printing problems.
Asset Manager (AM) - A person responsible for managing an
organization's printing system assets (primarily printers). Such a
person needs to be able to identify and track the location of
printing assets on an ongoing basis.
Capacity Planner (CP) - A person responsible for tracking the usage
of printing resources on an ongoing basis for the purpose of planning
printer acquisitions and/or placement of printers based on usage
trends.
Installer (INST) - A person or application responsible for
installing or configuring printing system components on a local
system.
Accountant (ACCT) - A person responsible for tracking the usage of
printing resources on an ongoing basis for the purpose of charging
Users for resources used.
Matrix of Common Print System Tasks and Role Models
To better understand the relationship between the set of defined
"Common Print System Tasks" and the various "Role Models," the
following matrix is provided.
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 164]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
It is important to recognize that many of the tasks will appear to be
applicable to many of the Role Models. However, when considering the
actual context of a task, it is very important to realize that often
the actual context of a task is such that the Role Model can change.
For example, it is obvious that a "System Manager" must be able to
submit print jobs to a printer; however, when submitting a print job,
a person identified as a "System Manager" is actually operating in
the context of a "User" in this case; hence, the requirement to
submit a print job is not listed as a requirement for a System
Manager.
Conversely, while a "User" must be able to remove a job previously
submitted to a printer, an "Operator" is often expected to be able to
remove any print job from any printer; hence, print job removal is a
(subtly different) requirement for both the "User" and "Operator"
Role Models.

Appendix E - Overall Printer Status Table
The Status Table establishes a convention for the top 25 printer
errors. The table defines a suggested relationship between various
printer states and the variables Printer hrDeviceStatus,
hrPrinterStatus, hrPrinterDetectedErrorState, prtAlertGroup,
prtAlertCode and various sub-unit status variables (prtInputStatus,
prtOutputStatus, prtMarkerStatus, prtMediaPathStatus and
prtChannelStatus). This table is the recommended implementation of
these variables. It is provided to guide implementors of this MIB
and users of the MIB by providing a sample set of states and the
variable values that are expected to be produced as result of that
state. This information supplements that provided in Section
Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 165]
RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004
2.2.13.2 "Overall Printer Status". This is not an exhaustive list
rather it is a guideline.
The definition of PrtSubUnitStatusTC specifies that SubUnitStatus is
an integer that is the sum of 5 distinct values/states: Availability,
Critical, Non-Critical, On-line and Transitioning. Thus when a non-
critical alert or alerts are present the values for Availability,
On-Line and Transitioning will be summed with the Non- Critical
Alerts (8) value.
The table was generated in landscape format and is located at
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/pmp/contributions/Top25Errors.pdf.
