It seems that my printer manufacturers, HP and Lexmark, have decided to 
reduce the amount of resources they have to throw at developing and 
maintaining cross-platform printer administration software (eg. Markvision 
and JetAdmin) by rewriting everything in Java.

To the inevitable Java drawbacks of poor performance and conflicting Java 
versions, they have added poor user interface and lack of 
functionality.  And you still have to configure and maintain one for each 
different manufacturer.

Has anyone developed a nice printer administration tool with a decent user 
interface and functionality, which uses standard and/or private SNMP MIBs 
to monitor and change printer characteristics?

Just wishing.
