Check printer attacched an external HP jetdirect

[Kevin Keane]

Yes, but the amount of data you can get is pretty limited. In your 
setup, the printer doesn't do any SNMP. The Jetdirect does. It in turn 
needs to figure out whatever information the Printer may make available. 
And given how infrequently parallel is used nowadays, I doubt that HP is 
investing all that much into R&D for it.

Remember - the Centronics interface dates back to even before the IBM PC 
- about a third of a century old by now, when Centronics made 9-pin 
printers for more than $1000. Even just being able to report anything at 
all was a later addition, originally it was outgoing only.
