Description: A value which indicates the current status of a queue in the
printer table.

The value is a sum.  This sum initially takes the value zero.
Then, for each flag, F, in the range 1 through N, that this
queue has TRUE, 2 raised to (F - 1) is added to the sum.

flag   status
----   ------
  1    queuing is enabled
  2    printing is enabled
  3    daemon is present

Other values of flag are reserved for future definition.

What is printQStatus?

Reports the current operational status of a printer queue as a bitmask, where each bit represents a distinct queue condition (e.g., active, disabled, or error). Operators can use this to determine whether a queue is accepting and processing jobs.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.6.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BSDUNIX-MIB::printQStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.6.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BSDUNIX-MIB::printQStatus.1

Start monitoring BSD Unix hosts (legacy ISODE SNMP agent) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the BSDUNIX-MIB::printQStatus OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any BSD Unix hosts (legacy ISODE SNMP agent) from a single console.
