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?
