HP Network Printer

I think it may be a bug because if I use 'public' I get the "error in
packet", if I use anything with less that 6 characters I get the same error,
if I use public1 or anything with more than 6 characters I just get host
time outs.
 
check_ping works fine
 
Thanks

Martyn,

 

I have noticed people monitoring other stuff on printers using the SNMP
protocoll. However, since we have that protocol disabled I have no
experience in that. If you just want to make sure it is up and running you
could use the check_ping. Assuming it's a network printer with enabled NIC.

 

Thanks,

PJ

Update, but I'm still getting "Error in packet ( ) " in my printer status 

I can walk the Mibs with snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.3.252 and see all
the relevant outputs but when I do the following: -

./check_snmp -H 192.168.3.252 -C public 

I get SNMP problem - No Data received from host 
CMD /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r5 -m ' ' -v 1 [authpriv] 192.168.3.252:161 

Hope you can help

Just looking to start and monitor an HP 2600n printer and have come across
the following statement in the quick start guide

The check_hpjd plugin will only get compiled and installed if you have the
net-snmp and net-snmp-utils 
packages installed on your system. Make sure the plugin exists in
/usr/local/nagios/libexec before you 
continue. If it doesn't, install net-snmp and net-snmp-utils and
recompile/reinstall the Nagios plugins. 

OK do these get installed when you download and compile
nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz or do I have to grab then separately, I have
looked through my nagios/libexec directory and noticed that check_snmp is in
there but not the above two.

Where would I get hold of the two files as described 

Thanks for your continued support 

Martyn
