MIB or possible OID's for SNMP on a LaserJet 4350

[SNMP_User]

Hi,

I'm trying to check my LaserJet 4350 Printer for Print-Job's, there Names, Size and state and so on. I can already connect over SNMP and can get some OID's with they're values, but I can't interpret them because I can't find the specific MIB's for this printer. I have one for a 4050 and 4500 but the most OID's of them doesn't work!

Where can I find this MIB's?

Thank's a lot!

HP posts the MIB's online, but they are a little tricky to find if you do not know where to look.

To find the MIB archive for HP Laserjet products:

1. Navigate to http://h20147.www2.hp.com/sppmain/

2. Click the link for Appliance Printing Development Kit

3. Click the link for APDK Developer Kits

4. Change the Kit Area drop down box to LaserJet and Digital Sender

5. Navigate to LaserJet and Digital Sender > Printer Management > Printer Specific MIB's

6. Search through the posted MIB files and review the contents

If your specific printer model is not posted under one of these directories then find a similar model and use that one instead.  Most of the time the MIB's do not change very drastically from one generate of printer to another so if your in the ball park with a similar printer you will be fine.

Enjoy!

Thanks! This location is very hard to find, unbelievable! No I have one who is very close to the Printer I have, but not all of the described OID's are really working. Especially all the Job-Information with OID:
 

job-info-name1, OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.1.6.5.1.0
job-info-size, OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.1.6.5.14.0
=> The closest available OID on the device is "1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.1.6.5.14.1140.0"


What's wrong here? I have the printer hp LJ4350 and tryed the MIB's for LJ4300-MIB.mib and LJ4345-MIB.mib . The most important for me is to get the info about the actual job.

You might have to contact HP and ask them if there is a better MIB document for your printer model.  Mention to them that you need assistance analyzing the MIB for your printer.  The first level techs will not be able to help you but they should be able to talk to an engineer who would know for sure and relay the correct information.

Most of the time I end up playing around and trying different ideas until I can isolate the correct OID.  I dont really have to dig in that area often enough to be efficient at it.  See if you can hit some of the higher level OID's and then go one level deeper at a time until you reach your destination.

But of course, HP went through a 'split' so now all these wonderful and useful links are burried in the ground which is where the rest of HP will end up. Dorks.

So this was going to be a great post with a great link to a valuabale answer, that is not to be. ALL LINKS THAT NOW START WITH H OR HAVE HP.COM IN THE LINK ARE DEAD......DEAD AND BURIED. THEY DIED ALONG WITH HP'S VERY QUICK RISE IN STUPIDITY.
