Troubleshooting

Printer registration issues like the above can occur if SNMPv1 is disabled or if the Get Community Name is not “public”. Use Add SNMP configuration if the printer is using a different community name or has SNMPv3 enabled. To troubleshoot, you can download the command line tool SnmpWalk to check that SNMP communication is working.

1. Download SnmpWalk.exe
2. Unzip the SnmpWalk.zip file.
3. Open a command prompt and browse to the folder where you extracted the SnmpWalk.exe file.
4. To get the MIB from the printer with the IP address 192.168.1.9 type: SnmpWalk -r:192.168.1.9
   In the window you should start to see listings like:

OID=.1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1, Type=Integer, Value=1
OID=.1.0.8802.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.2.1, Type=Integer, Value=1

• Printix support may ask for the output of the SnmpWalk. To pipe the result in to the output.txt file, type: SnmpWalk -r:192.168.1.9 > output.txt
