It's a bit more complicated than adding MIB files to Zenoss. There's some 
manual configuration to go through, too. 

First, you have to know the OIDs for the particular things you want to know 
about for your printer. You'll want to play around with snmpget and walk to 
find and verify the OID for what you want to track.

Once you have the OID, go to the device page for your printer and choose the 
PerfConf tab. Add a new data source, paperJam, and set its OID to what you 
found in your explorations with snmp[get|walk].

Add a new datapoint, paperJam, to the data source. I'm not expert (only started 
with Zenoss last week), but it appears the DataSource retreives the value and 
the DataPoint stores the values and makes them available for other 
calculations. I'm going to presume the paperJam OID value is either 0 for no 
jam or 1 for jammed. GAUGE is likely the proper Type setting in your datapoint 
for that. Read up on RRD for more info about data types.

Go back to the PerfConf tab and add a new threshold. Call it PaperJam or 
something clever like that. Edit the threshold. Select the data source as 
paperJam_paperJam. Leave Min Value blank and set Max Value to 0 (this assumes 
0=OK and 1=jammed). When the value becomes greater than 0, ie paperJam=1, then 
an event will be generated. Set the Severity to whatever is appropriate for 
you. Make sure the threshold is enabled. Save.

That's it! The dashboard should notify you when the printer is jammed. You may 
have to play with the config a bit if my assumptions about 0=OK and 1=jammed 
are incorrect.
