Description: LaserJet-Series8000-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-Series8000-MIB?

LaserJet-Series8000-MIB is a Hewlett-Packard proprietary SNMP MIB for the HP LaserJet 8000 series printer, extending the standard Printer MIB with device-specific control and status objects under the hp/hpsystem enterprise branch. It exposes printer configuration objects (sleep-mode, on-off-line, auto-continue behavior, supported localization languages/countries), device identity objects (model-number, serial-number, device-location), and status/error objects (background-status-msg lines, error-log-clear). This MIB is a clear example of monitoring both hardware and software status of a device: the background status message lines surface the printer's current human-readable state (e.g. out of paper, toner low, ready), error-log-clear exposes fault-log handling, and sleep-mode/on-off-line report the printer's current power and connectivity state. As an HP proprietary companion to the standard IETF Printer MIB (RFC 1759), it supplements rather than replaces that MIB's job/tray/alert model with HP-specific control and identity objects. It is deployed on HP LaserJet 8000-series printers in office/enterprise print environments, where LaserJet-Series8000-MIB SNMP monitoring is used by HP or third-party print-management software to track device status.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LaserJet-Series8000-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 8000 series printer

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll background-status-msg-line1-part1 and background-status-msg-line2-part1 to read the printer's current front-panel status text, catching conditions like a paper jam or low-toner warning in near real time. Checking on-off-line and sleep-mode reveals whether the printer is currently offline or in a power-saving state, explaining why print jobs might be queuing without printing, while model-number and serial-number identify exactly which physical unit is reporting the fault for dispatch of a service technician.

What Can Be Monitored

  • printer status message text
  • online/offline state
  • sleep mode state
  • auto-continue error-handling behavior
  • error log status
  • device model/serial identity

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hrdeviceerrors OID:

Select an HP LaserJet 8000 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 hrdeviceerrors into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of errors detected on this device. 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.
