monitoring printers with Nagios

[Scott Doenges]

Hi all,

First post on this list, please excuse my noobisms.

We are interested in using Nagios to monitor printers in our 
building, and have it tell us when a printer is reporting out of 
paper/toner, etc.

What would be the best way to do this?  SNMP?  Or can you monitor via 
IPP, which can report these different alert states?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,
Scott
