When I started working at my job, before we were acquired and had a big corporate IT handle things, I found the printers under nagios. And they paged at night.

You could imagine my face when I got a text at 3am for a fucking toner.

Tom,

Well this that is fascinating and uplifting... also encouraging...   I will
see if I can track down the MIBs for said printers...   Also on the
wishlist are Zebra Label printers for the plant...    But one bridge at a
time...

That said is there some generic way, e.g. adding vendor ID's somewhere so
it will detect and as you say, know to poll with the JetDirect??

Excuse the noobiness...  I am quite green at all this...

Cheers,

Monitor ALL the things!

Getting it recognized as a printer is probably all that needs to happen.
There isn't that much actual code for toner stuff, just about everyone
uses the Jetdirect OIDs.
