We got an Aficio MP C305 Printer where we want to get a monthly automated report of printed pages (bw/color) based on a per user basis (addressbook / print code) to make a print accounting possible. We still can count total numbers (also of all in one types like fax, copy, print and divided in colour/bw counts), but no counts on a per user basis. Does anybody knows whether it is generally possible to have per user counts (based on printer addressbook and user print code) and if so is there an oid?
We do not need that functionality directly in observium… cause this is not monitoring but reporting, but it would be nice to get them via snmp automated monthly.
Thanks in advance.

after getting counters we make calculations with difference between now and the day before.
