Since I got some mails regarding: I didn't get your config file,
I'll put the mail below to the list again.
If you have problems to get the configfile following the link below,
feel free to ask again.

I'll not add the file again as mentioned below. Would make no sense
to put it on the list twice...

bye,

 Joerg Helmert

Hi Bryan,

I attached my config file to my previous mail.

Don't know if You already realised this:
The listsoftware used from tobi removes all attachments
but puts them on a webserver and provides a link for download.

That link is put at the end of a mail. Here it is:
-- Attached file removed by Listar and put at URL below -- 
-- Type: application/octet-stream 
-- Size: 2k (2606 bytes) 
-- URL : http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/pantomime/hp-colorlaser.cfg 
This is just ment as info for you for future use.

For your convenience (right words?) I'll include the attachment again.

To your problems regarding your graphs:
I get a round 100 pages per hour. That is far below 1 page per second.
So mrtg rounds this to zero.
Be sure to use options like perhour etc.

If you use absolute values like sheets in 2000 sheet feader, you have
to set options for absolute values (eg.: absolute or gauge).
Otherwise the difference between actual and last value may be zero
or even negative. mrtg will calculate differences in standard mode
(without appropriate options).

If you have problems with extracting the right options out of my
german config file: feel free to ask.

bye,

 Joerg Helmert

Thanks, this helped me allot. 
Can you send me a snippet of the cfg file you are using for this? 
I am having trouble getting actual numbers to show up in the graph. 
I have the script running clean but no stats come back.

Hi, 
these printers should support printer.mib. 
I collect printed pages per hour and number of sheets in high capacity tray.

The second one shows only 0, 500, 1000, 1500 sheets. Ugly pictures, but 
nice to show whats possible with mrtg ;-) 
Here are the MIB-Values I found working on a Color Laser 8500: 
printed pages total: 
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 
sheets in 2000 sheet paper feader (text out of mind from a german boy): 
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.10.1.5 

Find attached my config. Sorry, its 0:40 in germany. So no translation of 
targetnames and comments for today... 
Should be usefull though, since its an mrtg config file ;-) 
I had some problems with our 5Si. I think missing Values or so. 
Maybe firmware is too old since I tried over a year ago. 
Since I only wanted to do something other than negtwork traffic, 
I didn' try hard to get it running on that printer. 
bye, 
 Joerg Helmert

Has anyone worked on using MRTG to gather statistics on HP JetDirect cards 
in HP printers?  Specifically 5si, 4000, 4500, 8000, 4050, and the old 4 
series.  I have about 300 of them - Ugh! 
I would always appreciate any advice or other suggestions or config 
examples.
