What Is CLJ8550-MIB?

CLJ8550-MIB is an HP model-specific MIB for the Color LaserJet 8550, the sister model to the 8500, again extending HP's private printer MIB tree for device-specific status, supply, and job-accounting data on JetDirect-networked printers. It exposes configuration objects for power-saving behavior and job auto-continue handling, along with live status messages and, per its short description, consumable supply-level and job-accounting data. It is directly useful for monitoring hardware/software status: on-off-line and sleep-mode/energy-star report reachability and power state, the background-status-msg objects surface real-time fault conditions, and supply-level tracking flags when toner or other consumables need replacement. It depends on HP's private enterprise printer MIB structure, generally used alongside the standard Printer-MIB (RFC 3805) that many HP printer agents also implement. It is deployed in office/print-fleet environments where administrators remotely track printer availability, consumable status, and job throughput for a population of HP LaserJet 8550 printers. Engineers can download the CLJ8550-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CLJ8550-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • HP Color LaserJet 8550 series printer
  • HP JetDirect-networked printer

Monitoring Examples

As with its sister model, an admin would poll on-off-line and sleep-mode/energy-star to determine whether a given 8550 is reachable and in what power state, and read background-status-msg-line1-part1/line2-part1 for the current front-panel status text describing any active fault. job-output-auto-continue-timeout indicates how the device handles output-side errors during a job. Per the MIB's stated supply-level and job-accounting focus, an admin would also expect to track consumable levels to anticipate toner replacement before a job fails.

What Can Be Monitored

  • printer online/offline reachability
  • sleep/power-save (energy-star) mode status
  • front-panel status message text
  • job input/output auto-continue behavior and timeout
  • consumable/supply level status
  • job accounting data
