In order to create printers, you need Printer Models set up. In order to use the Toner Inventory and take advantage of the quick supply overview in Printers, you need the Supplies defined.
Let us start with Printer Models – you first want to create your printer model. This is rather straight forward.
SNMP OIDs? Wait what? Don’t be scarred. You don’t need to fill this out. But if you want to take advantage of the CMDB Service reading in page counts per SNMP and showing them in the graphs in the printer’s module, you will need to fill them in, but you can do this later on. See further below for a more thorough explanation and some known OIDs.
Now let’s look at Printer Supplies. To be honest, it does not matter what you create first, but it might make more sense this way.
A supply is about anything that you need for your printer, most common of course are toner cartridges and ink cartridges. But also, empty toner boxes respective waste toner cartridges as well as staples are part of the supplies.
Some supplies are used by multiple printer models, some are unique to only this model. You can link supplies and printers’ model together what eventually shows the supply info in the printer’s module as well as the number of printers out there in the Toner Inventory module.
Make sure you define an in-stock minimum so you know how many you should have, the table in this module shows you how many active printers have this supply assigned, so you can make quick decisions on a good in stock minimum value.
Shelf codes are a free text field, they are only here to help you find the actual supply quickly. It is to recommend labelling your shelfs with a system like A1 / A2 / A3 and B1 / B2 / B3 or similar and put the various toners there, this makes the inventory easier as well as finding the right supply quickly when needed.
Vendor is not related to the Vendors module as of this point. This might change in a future version of the IT Asset Management Database / CMDB.
SNMP OIDs on Printer Models
Scarred? Don’t be. This is often rather simple. Before we start, you only set the OID numbers for the model here – the community to do the SNMP request against the printer are set on the printer itself.
Unfortunately, there is no real standard set of OIDs for page counts, some vendors though keep them always the same, others vary them even per model. So, this can become a bit complicated.
Finding the right OIDs
If the list below does not help or work, you will need to use a SNMP test tool. Paessler’s SNMP Tester proofed to be a very liable source for this. Various internet searches might reveal what others discovered already, looking at previous models might help as well and sometimes calling the vendor support hotline.
It is a bit of a pain to get them – especially if the standards don’t work, but it is not impossible and often well worth it, as the data collected due to these OIDs can provide you very valuable insight into the usage of your printers and arguments for replacements even.
List of known SNMP OIDs for Page Counts
Below you find a lot of OIDs that work well. If you have more, please feel free to send them using the contact form, so others can profit from them as well and don’t have to find them again.
