Description:

This is my first attempt to write a Zenoss v3.x ZenPack: a new simple but complete PrinterMIB zenpack to monitor printer supplies (ink level, etc) of printers supporting the RFC 1759 PrinterMIB.

Includes:

• new PrinterMIB device class + PrinterSupply component class
• TwoNMS.snmp.PrinterMAP modeler
• /Printer/PrinterMIB device class
• RRD template to monitor the ink level + threshold
• 2 reports: inventory + Ink Usage graphs
• editable details field for graph color

Installation:

Default ZenPack installation, no additional actions needed.

A device class /Printers/PrinterMIB is added and removed when uninstalling the ZenPack.

A PrinterMIB Report section is added.

A PrinterSupply RRDTemplate is added.

Requirements:

• Zenoss Versions Supported: >= 3.0  (does not work with v2.x)
• Installation Notes: zopectl restart after installing this ZenPack.

History:

Change History:

• 1.0 initial release
• 1.1 slightly modified by Jane Curry to work with Zenoss 4.2.3

Tested: This ZenPack was tested with version 3.1

Source: <add link - available on github soon>

Caveats: The ZenPack has only been tested with a "HP LaserJet 2600n" printer but should work with all printers supporting the RFC compliant PrinterMIB. The PrinterMIB is quite extensive but the HP 2600n printer only supports the ink utilization oids.
