xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.59.7.1.1.2

For the MIB, the object applies to scanners, Faxes, etc., as well as printers. For job services that are purely software or that have software document transforms that the implementation wishes to expose the state of the software 'engine' may also include rows in this table. The purpose of the xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned is to give more detailed information about the state of a job when the job is in the processing state. Consequently, the value of this object shall reflect the state of the device only when the job is in the processing state. When the job is in any other state, the value of the xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned object shall be 'unknown'. Changes of the values of xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned shall generate a trap. Since the value of this object shall change only when the job is in the processing state, traps shall only be generated for changes in xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned while the job is in the processing state. Therefore, the xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned object shall not generate a trap when the job is not in the processing state. NOTE: the xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned is a duplicate of an object in the Host Resources Extension MIB. But since that object is in an optional group, xcmDeviceStateOfDevicesAssigned is duplicated in this deprecated table, so that implementers are not forced to implement the entire optional group in the HRX MIB, such to get this state of the device that is part of the overall job state. NOTE: This group and table has been DEPRECATED, because some devices can be processing more than one job at a time. However, if the device stops, only one of those jobs is actually affected. So the deviceStopped bit in the PWG Job Monitoring MIB should be used (on a per job basis) to indicate that the device has a problem. ISO DPA: Printer-state-of-printers-assigned This attribute identifies the current state of each assigned [device] printer. This attribute gives the client access to information within each assigned printer. Because this attribute contains a value that is updated within the printer, the server may choose to update the value of this attribute only when a client [or management station] queries its value. See the [devices-assigned] printers-assigned attribute for the correspondence between elements of this attribute and those of [devices-assigned] printers-assigned.
