I was looking at the Printer MIB and came across what appears to be a cut and paste error.

prtLocalizationIndex OBJECT-TYPE
              SYNTAX     Integer32 (1..65535)
              MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
              STATUS     current
              DESCRIPTION
                "A unique value used by the printer to identify this
          localization entry.  Although these values may change due to a
          major reconfiguration of the device (e.g., the addition of new
          Cover sub-units to the printer), values are expected to remain
          stable across successive printer power cycles."

The "e.g., " refers to " the addition of new Cover sub-units to the printer". I'd be quite surprised that adding covers will cause more localization entries! How about something along the lines of "the addition of new localization code to the printer."

Also, Ira mentioned today that his printers have the ability to have localizations added. Ira, is that done while the printer is online? HP printers allow localizations to be added via a ROM SIMM, so it is powered down for the addition. If the printer does it live, then most of the "DESCRIPTION" should be deleted.
