Subject: PPR: SNMP support in tcpip interface

For the next minor release of PPR, I have added code to the tcpip 
interface program so that if the connection is refused it makes an SNMP 
query and then prints an appropriate "%%[ status: xxx ]%%" message.  
What I am having trouble figuring out, is what SNMP keys should be be 
examining to detect conditions such as a paper jam.  Note that retriving 
the display message is not a correct solution since it breaks if the 
user changes the display language.

If anyone has experience with this, please refer me to helpful documents 
or describe SNMP keys that work and what printers they work on.
