I'm currently having some issues getting this plugin to work, but I do 
now have snmp configured on all my printers, and I can contact my 
printers via snmp. I'm currently having some issues, but I'm dealing 
with that in another thread. When that gets solved, I'm report back if 
is solved my problem.

Thanks
