I noted that i didn't have net-snmp-utils installed, and then I was able 
to run

[root at host plugins]# snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 printer1.mydomain.com 
system

sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT
sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.11.2.3.9.1
sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (325408663) 37 days, 15:54:46.63
sysContact.0 = STRING:
sysName.0 = STRING: printer1
sysLocation.0 = STRING:
sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 72


So I know that the printer is working as expected, (as far as SNMP is 
concerned). But when I run


[root at host plugins]# ./check_hpjd -H printer1.mydomain.com -C public
Error in packet ()

I get this error - From what I've tried so far, I know my host can 
communicate via SNMP, I know the printer responds via SNMP, so I guess 
I'm left to look at the plug-in, which I will be checking up on.  I'm 
new to SNMP, I am investigating this with my good friend Google search, 
but I am on a learning curve here, so please forgive my questions if 
they sound stupid,

TIA
