However, since we have that protocol disabled I have no experience in that. If you just want to make sure it is up and running you could use the check_ping. Assuming it’s a network printer with enabled NIC.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks,<o:p></o:p> PJ<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: Martyn [mailto:martyn@chetnet.co.uk] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 1:13 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] HP Network Printer<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Update, but I'm still getting "Error in packet ( ) " in my printer status <o:p></o:p> I can walk the Mibs with snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.3.252 and see all the relevant outputs but when I do the following: -<o:p></o:p> ./check_snmp -H 192.168.3.252 -C public <o:p></o:p> I get SNMP problem - No Data received from host CMD /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r5 -m ' ' -v 1 [authpriv] 192.168.3.252:161 <o:p></o:p> Hope you can help <o:p></o:p> _____________________________________________ From: Martyn [<a href="mailto:martyn@chetnet.co.uk">mailto:martyn@chetnet.co.uk</a>] Sent: 02 February 2009 17:33 To: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: HP Network Printer <o:p></o:p> Just looking to start and monitor an HP 2600n printer and have come across the following statement in the quick start guide<o:p></o:p> The check_hpjd plugin will only get compiled and installed if you have the net-snmp and net-snmp-utils packages installed on your system. Make sure the plugin exists in /usr/local/nagios/libexec before you continue. If it doesn’t, install net-snmp and net-snmp-utils and recompile/reinstall the Nagios plugins. <o:p></o:p> OK do these get installed when you download and compile nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz or do I have to grab then separately, I have looked through my nagios/libexec directory and noticed that check_snmp is in there but not the above two.<o:p></o:p> Where would I get hold of the two files as described <o:p></o:p> Thanks for your continued support <o:p></o:p> Martyn <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
