[mrtg] Re: Impressions vs. pages of paper used

[Janet Post]

I don't have experiance with that particular printer, but I do have
experiance with HP and JetDirects (cards that connect a printer to a
network for those who don't know).  I use this OID to get the number of
pages printed (not all of my printers have this OID):

.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1

If the above OID works for you, you may be interested in these ones too:

Black toner Cartridge Levels:
(OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.1 is the total capacity of the
cartridge, use this for your maxbytes)
.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1

If you have a colour printer:
Use the black toner  OID, but change the last number:
...8.1.# is the MaxByte level, 
...9.1.# is the actual level

.2 - cyan,  
.3 - magenta, 
.4 - yellow
.5 - drum kit life, 
.6 - transfer kit life, 
.7 - fuser kit life


Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have a Xerox Phaser 5400 I'm graphing with MRTG.  Using the standard 
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 I can get the number of impressions 
(currently 3078) but I'm also interested in what the printer's web 
interface calls "total sheets delivered" which is 2343 right now due to 
the duplexing capabilities of the printer.  I've tried using snmpwalk 
but I can't find anything with this value, nor can I find anything that 
is difference between the two values (hoping the web interface just 
added them somehow).

This printer was put into service this morning, those thousands of 
pages are just from today :)  I'd love to know how much paper I'm using 
to keep ordering enough.  Anyone else have any experience with this on 
other duplexing printers?

	-David
