[Nagiosplug-help] monitoring printers

There's also the more generic "check_printer" - does basically the same as check_hpjd, but uses printmib, so if your printer supports that then you should be sorted.

 I have done this so far for HP Printers where the check_hpjd plugin comes handy if you want  just to know what the status is (OK, Toner low etc.)

For other things you could use snmp queries (check_snmp) and evaluate the output. MIBs for a lot of devices can be found at mibdepot.com

Kind regards,
Christoph
