Description: LaserJet-5-MIB module

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is LaserJet-5-MIB?

LaserJet-5-MIB is an HP vendor-private, model-specific MIB (published 1997, under the hp/nm/hpsystem/net-peripheral/netdm OID branch) that supplements standard Printer-MIB/RFC 1213 objects with LaserJet 5-specific management data for JetDirect-networked printers. It organizes objects into device subsystems: system identification and status (system, status-system, background-message), input trays (intray1 through intray4 under print-engine), page-description-language status for PCL and PostScript (pdl-pcl, pdl-postscript), print job information (job-info, job-info-attribute, active-print-jobs/job-being-parsed), the marking/imaging engine, and I/O interface slots (simm1-4, mio1, phd1). Because many of these objects are scalars representing consumables, tray, and engine state rather than tabular counters, the MIB is primarily useful for confirming paper-tray status, PDL/job processing state, and printer-specific error/status conditions beyond what generic printer MIBs expose. It depends on RFC 1213 MIB-II for base interface objects and is deployed specifically on HP LaserJet 5 printers with a JetDirect network card -- administrators load the LaserJet-5-MIB MIB into their network management tool to monitor this legacy print device.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LaserJet-5-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 LaserJet 5 printer with JetDirect network interface

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls the intray objects under settings-intray/intray1 through intray4 to check paper-tray status, and reviews job-being-parsed under active-print-jobs; a tray reporting an empty/jam condition alongside a stalled job-being-parsed entry would indicate the printer has halted a job waiting on paper input.

What Can Be Monitored

  • input tray status (trays 1-4)
  • print job processing/parsing state
  • PCL and PostScript PDL status
  • marking/imaging engine status
  • SIMM/MIO/PHD interface slot status
  • system identification and background message status
