IESG Note

   This MIB module uses an unconventional scheme for modeling management
   information (on top of the SNMP model) which is unique to this MIB.
   The IESG recommends against using this document as an example for the
   design of future MIBs.

   The "Printer Working Group" industry consortium is not an IETF
   working group, and the IETF does not recognize the Printer Working
   Group as a standards-setting body.  This document is being published
   solely to provide information to the Internet community regarding a
   MIB that might be deployed in the marketplace. Publication of this
   document as an RFC is not an endorsement of this MIB.

Abstract

   This document provides a printer industry standard SNMP MIB for (1)
   monitoring the status and progress of print jobs (2) obtaining
   resource requirements before a job is processed, (3) monitoring
   resource consumption while a job is being processed and (4)
   collecting resource accounting data after the completion of a job.
   This MIB is intended to be implemented (1) in a printer or (2) in a
   server that supports one or more printers.  Use of the object set is
   not limited to printing.  However, support for services other than
   printing is outside the scope of this Job Monitoring MIB.  Future
