How can we monitor HP network Printer for critical errors ,like page stuck , low cart , etc

Hi Kitaab First you have to discover the printers and then you will need to get the Name, location, and other basic SNMP get information. You can use SNMP probe rules and monitors. You have to get MiB tables for printers and choose what you want to monitor. Mib-Browser http://www.ireasoning.com/mibbrowser.shtml The best way is to create your own monitors is to read Pete Zerger snmp article. http://www.systemcentercentral.com/BlogDetails/tabid/143/IndexId/13016/Default.aspx Hope It helps Greating RoelThe Difficult takes time, the impossible just a little longer.

Hi Kitaab, As far as I know HP do not have a MP for HP printers. Perhaps the Windows Server Print Server Monitoring MP can help you?

Hi Dktoa, Doesn't the "Windows server Print Server Monitoring Mp" primarily monitor the print servers and the Queues? Greats RoelThe Difficult takes time, the impossible just a little longer.

I know this has been marked as answered, but you can also use WMI for this, as long as the print server is not clustered as WMI doesn't work against the virtual server name.Layne, 2011 Microsoft Community Contributor Recipient
