RE: Printer Control Issues

["Thompson, Glenn" <gthompson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I sent out an email last week requesting info on Ethernet printing.  The
list was great with their responses.  Particular thanks to Jim Franz for
his link to the printer doc and Charles Wilt for his printing hierarchy
list.

We decided to go with the SNMP methodology.  We are using IBM 6400
printers.  

Granted, we do not have the same control as twinax printers but we do
have some indication if the printer has an issue.  We are still early in
our testing but preliminary results look good.

I would appreciate any other comments or suggestions before we roll
these out to our users.

Thanks
