monitor printer from Windows server

[Mies, Christian]

Hi,
have you had a look at the Windows Counter, if there is a Value that will be interesting? The second way could be to 'Ping' the Printer and to use a Eventcorrelation Engine like openITCOCKPIT or NagiosBP?

Regards,
Christian

Betreff: [Nagios-users] monitor printer from Windows server

I have a Windows 7 server acting as a print server and I would like to check the status of these printers and make sure that they are still online etc.

I cannot seem to find a way of checking printers shared from a Windows machine, does anyone have any suggestions or references that I could use.

Thanks

James
