Execute the checks on the remote machines, use NRPE,NSCA or check_by_ssh
or use SNMP (read list archives). The check can only report the
Information of the local host (like check_load, check_mem, check_mailq
and many more).

More information: How do you check that.. remeber check_disk only checks
local partitions. try a check_disk -w 10 -c 5 and you should get the
output of all local partitions. Specify with "-p /var" if you only want
to have the /var space

see abovbe.. you probably check the disks of the nagios server, which
may not have /dev/hda2 --> unknown

If your konica printer supports snmp you can write your own script or
try to use check_hpjd, but the name implies that it's only for HP JetDirect

Use the Windows NRPE or (what i prefer) NSClient and use the standard
test or read performance values.
