Hi @crtausche,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If SNMPv3 is not appearing as an option on your HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP, there are a few things you can check and try to resolve this issue.

Firmware Version: Ensure that your printer's firmware is up to date. Sometimes SNMPv3 support might be added or fixed in newer firmware versions. Check the HP support website for the latest firmware for your specific printer model.

Configuration Interface: SNMPv3 settings are typically found in the printer's web-based management interface. Make sure you are accessing all available settings. Here’s how you can typically access it:

• Open a web browser and enter the printer's IP address.
• Log in to the printer’s embedded web server. You might need administrative credentials.
• Look for a section related to SNMP settings. It might be under a section like "Networking" or "Security".

User Manual: Refer to the printer's user manual or administrator guide. It should provide specific instructions on how to configure SNMP settings and whether SNMPv3 is supported.

Alternative Solutions: If SNMPv3 is not supported, consider using SNMPv2c if security requirements allow, though note that SNMPv2c is less secure due to its use of community strings without encryption. Alternatively, explore other monitoring and management options that may be compatible with your printer.

By following these steps, you should be able to either enable SNMPv3 on your HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP if it's supported, or determine if you need to use an alternative approach.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
