Consult the SNMP documentation of your printer or cantact your printer
supplier and ask them which SNMP variables are usefull. I am sure that
information is close to the spot where it told you how to enable SNMP.

SNMP is enabled, public is the community.  I changed the title of this email 
(too many vendors I have to keep up with) :)

Thanks,

 If the community string, in your case public, is incorrect, this is
 enough to generate a timeout.
 Additionally, if the printer does not even have SNMP capability, you
 will also get a timeout.
 You'll need to check the printer firmware config.
 
 Why have you titled this message Compaq Printer Monitoring and yet
 provided the config for a Canon iRC3380? Perhaps you are getting your
 printers mixed up?

There appears to be nothing wrong with what you are doing so far.

Can you send your command definition?
Can you make it work from the command line?

You might need to check your environment eg firewalls etc

AFAIK: check_hpjd is specifically tailored towards HP printers. What do
you expect it to do with another brand of printers?

And what command did you type on the commandline to test things? I do
hope you did try that.

Yes, I just realized the hpjd command is just for HP printers.  Ok, so after I 
realized, I was looking at the help for check_snmp, and this is the command 
from the command line I tried:

./check_snmp -H 172.24.50.102 -C public
this returns:
SNMP problem - No data received from host
CMD: /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m '' -v 1 [authpriv] 172.24.50.102:161

(I don't know what I should be query for the -o object ID)

Thanks again for all the help,
Izz
