Description: LaserJet-Series4050-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-Series4050-MIB?

LaserJet-Series4050-MIB is a Hewlett-Packard proprietary module specific to the HP LaserJet 4050 series printers, providing detailed printer control-panel, status, and localization objects. It exposes device configuration data such as sleep-mode and online/offline state, control panel button presses, background status messages, and localization/country language support, alongside model and serial number identification. Its monitoring focus is squarely on hardware/device status: administrators can track power state (sleep-mode, on-off-line), error conditions via error-log-clear and background status message lines, and physical identification via model-number and serial-number. Being an HP printer-specific MIB, it is used alongside the standard Printer MIB (RFC 1759) for fuller print-device management. It is typically deployed in office environments managing fleets of HP LaserJet 4050 printers via SNMP-based print management software, and administrators can download the LaserJet-Series4050-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LaserJet-Series4050-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 4050 series printer

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll on-off-line and sleep-mode to confirm whether a LaserJet 4050 unit is online and active or has entered a power-saving state, and check background-status-msg-line1-part1/line2-part1 for the printer's current status message text. A control-panel-button-press event combined with a background status message indicating a fault (e.g., paper jam or low toner) would reveal a hardware condition requiring physical attention.

What Can Be Monitored

  • printer online/offline state
  • sleep mode status
  • control panel status messages
  • control panel button presses
  • model and serial number
  • supported languages/countries

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hrstorageallocationfailures OID:

Select an HP LaserJet 4050 series printer as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type hrstorageallocationfailures into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of requests for storage represented by this entry that could not be honored due to not enough storage. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
