Subject: Re: PWG-ANNOUNCE> Last Call: New Printer MIB Enums for FIN MIB

A simple addition to the proposal:

At its last meeting the FIN WG decided NOT to include the
Finisher MIB attributes table as a source of traps because we couldn't
see how an attribute table could generate traps.  However, we could
have an event when a Finisher MIB attribute changes (added, removed,
or value changed).  For example, a constraint might change when a new
medium type or size was loaded.

If we did allow for alerts on attribute changes, the alert group
would be numbered 33.  And would mean that all four tables in the 
Finisher MIB, corresponding to 30, 31, 32 and 33, would have alert 
code numbers with the same value as the sub-identifier for the table.

The event that would apply would be configurationChanged(7)

I propose that finAttributeTable(33) be added as follows
to the end of the prtAlertGroupTC: 

    finAttributeTable(33)   -- used with configurationChanged(7) alert

Thanks,
Tom
