I have had some success asking HP tech support for MIBS. The ones I have are a
little old and were beta's when I got them so I suggest that you ask HP tech
support for newer ones. I can send what I have to you if you want.

Dear Mike,
that`s a good one.
Did you use snmpwalk on these printers? The community usually is "public".
It gives you all ID�s you could access. What they mean is your guess. I tried
to get MIB�s from several companies. First from HP, whose printers we use.
I did not reach anybody in all those companies who knows, what SNMP means.
HP seems to try to hide the information as everybody knows, who uses HP�s
WebJetAdmin on a 2500CM.
This is surely not the answer you were looking for. I use this opportunity to
alert others on this list to this issue, which I think could be an interesting
solution to certain problems arising from maintaining several printers made
by different companies in a distributed environment.
