As previously discussed, the keywords listed for chNetwarePServer in 
     the current Printer MIB draft would necessitate multiple channel 
     entries for each file server/queue pair. The benefit of this approach 
     does not justify the potentially extensive expansion in the number of 
     channels. In addition, the server/queue pair may not define a path to 
     a unique printer because multiple printers may service a given pair.
     
     The PServer name and printer number keywords, as used for the 
     chNetwareRPrinter channel, do provide a unique identification of the 
     printer channel. I request that, starting on page 37 of the 
     draft-ietf-printmib-mib-info-01.txt document, PrtChannelTypeTC information 
     for chNetwarePServer be changed to the following.

         chNetwarePServer(10),  -- Novell, Inc
                                -- prtChannelInformation keywords:
