This seems a little bit of an odd change, but I'm not sure how you
have your hosts defined.  Do you have a host defined for each printer?
Or do you have a single host, with multiple printer tests assigned? If
you're using a single host per printer, passing in the IP address for
the printer into the service is a little odd.  The original definition
for the command was OK, it looks like you probably just needed to drop
the IP address. ie:

define service {
  [...]
  check_command  check_snmp_printer!public!CONSUM ALL
}

The command definition would get the host address from the other
macros.  You can then use hostgroups to assign services to a batch of
printers that have the same tests.
