printerV2Alert
Module: Printer-MIB
OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::printerV2Alert
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.2.0.1
Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE
Description: This trap is sent whenever a critical event is added to the
prtAlertTable.
NOTE: The prtAlertIndex object was redundantly included in the bindings of the 'printerV2Alert' notification in RFC 1759, even though the value exists in the instance qualifier of all the other bindings. This object has been retained to provide compatiblity with existing RFC 1759 implementaions.
What is printerV2Alert?
This SNMP notification trap is generated whenever a critical alert event is added to the printer's alert table. The trap includes the alert index, severity level, alert group, location, and alert code to provide full context about the event. Monitoring systems receive this notification to respond immediately to critical printer conditions such as paper jams, toner depletion, or hardware failures.
Examples
Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' Printer-MIB::printerV2Alert snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.2.0.1
Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):
snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public
Example snmptrapd log entry:
