Execute the checks on the remote machines, use NRPE,NSCA or check_by_ssh 
or use SNMP  (read list archives). The check can only report the 
Information of the local host  (like check_load, check_mem, check_mailq 
and many more).

More information: How do you check that.. remeber check_disk only checks 
local partitions. try a check_disk -w 10 -c 5 and you should get the 
output of all local partitions. Specify with "-p /var" if you only want 
to have the /var space

see abovbe.. you probably check the disks of the nagios server, which 
may not have /dev/hda2 --> unknown

If your konica printer supports snmp you can write your own script or 
try to use check_hpjd, but the name implies that it's only for HP JetDirect

Use the Windows NRPE or (what i prefer) NSClient and use the standard 
test or read performance values.
