[mrtg] Re: Question about monitoring laserjet printers

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

Ahem...my mstake...I'll go cook up some crow now...I see you have two 
OIDs, just in MIB-type format.

Anyway, if you want to use the non-numeric format, did you use the 
"LoadMIBS" directive?

If this is a busy printer, you may want to test perhour vs. perminute.  

I have printers that I do in perhour and some that are done in perminute.

aha. yes, that appears to work.
weird. those names are defined in the mib file, so I had thought it would
work.

oh, I see. I was thinking it would treat it as a counter.
