are page counts possible on a per user basis (in adressbook) of a Ricoh / Aficio MP c305 printer?
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.

Heya,
I don't think any printer actually exports that sort of thing via SNMP. Do you have per-user page counts in the printer's web interface? If not, no such luck I'm afraid.
Might be something to do on the print server though, but I guess you don't have one in between...

ecaroh,
You might want to look into something like PrinterLogic.com for that kind of functionality. I demo'd it recently, and it had great reporting for printing.
