We will use “prtMarkerSuppliesLevel” entry. The browser will only display those entries with the mentioned word present in their names. To find OIDs related to measuring toner amount, enter word “Supplies” to the right of “Find” label. If both bytes are zero, no error condition detected.Ĭonclude setting up monitor parameters Now refresh MIB browser main view by clicking “Refresh” button. Length 2 (2 bytes) if bits below are set, corresponding error condition is in effect: The below OIDs could also be used to detect input/output error conditions: 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.9.2.1.1 (prtOutputIndex): output capacity (0 or more 0 means out of paper)ġ.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.2 (hrPrinterDetectedErrorState): octet string of Note that you should refer to the color names entries to select proper color for your monitor. The last integer matches the color with the same last integer (i.e., 1.3.6.1.2.43.11.1.1.8.0.3 is for cyan toner).įinally, current sensors values can be found in the subtree 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9 ( prtMarkerSuppliesLevel). Integer values can vary greatly and there’s no general/default value. The above are maximal values (when corresponding cartridge is 100% full). To find that, browse tree 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8 ( prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity) – typical display will look like this: Next, you should find the maximal sensor value for the given toner color. Units are identified by integer values from list PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC (browse PRINTER-MIB file), most probably it’s 19 (percent) or 13 (tenthsOfGrams) in case of toner. You can find measurement units by browsing tree 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6 – note the final numbers, they match the mentioned above toner colors. Note: “ink” may be reported regardless of whether the printer is inkjet or laser. You can find toner colors by browsing tree 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6 ( prtMarkerSuppliesDescription) – typical display will look like this: To do that, enter in the Search field in MIB browser string 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1 ( prtMarkerSuppliesEntry) to find the required branches. To proceed setting up monitors, you should first locate toner parameters. If your printer is monochrome (uses black toner only), you can skip this part.
Important: when using proprietary MIBs, be ready to see the same OIDs under different names, or find different OIDs reflecting the same properties mentioned below. Consult tech.support of HP for more information. In case the below OID trees do not represent required data, you might need to browse HP-LASERJET-COMMON-MIB to find proper OIDs. Import the other MIB file in the same way, if necessary. Select one of MIB files and click “Open”. Otherwise, make sure the downloaded MIB files are placed into %ProgramData%\IPHost Network Monitor\mibs and click “Import” button. If IANA-PRINTER-MIB and Printer-MIB are both present in the list, just skip this step.

Download the mentioned MIB files, click on “MIBs” button (lower left corner of the MIB browser) and look whether the required MIBs are loaded already. If you haven’t loaded proper MIB files (you would need IANA-PRINTER-MIB and Printer-MIB v2), MIB browser will not show you much useful information (most OID tree entries will be marked Unknown). Launch the MIB browser (see above for instructions) to proceed.
Open your SNMP monitor’s Main parameters tab.

It is assumed you know how to create SNMP monitor already we only show how to select proper OID to monitor toner level and/or other printer state variables.

In this tutorial, we will set up a SNMP monitor to watch the amount of toner remaining in a Hewlett-Packard (HP) printer also if there are several toners available, check out of paper error and so on.Ĭlick on the thumbnail pictures provided to view their full version. If you need to monitor other parameter please take a look at the tutorial below. To monitor HP printer black toner amount and several parameters related to printer state Hewlett-Packard printers state monitoring application template can be used.
