I think you won't get this easily. The DeskJet 5550 is a discontinued low-end desktop printer with nearly no local intelligence: it doesn't run SNMP or TCP/IP (it's a parallel or USB printer) so there is simply no place to do anything with SNMP on this printer. Almost everything is done in the driver. The only way to monitor the printer is with whatever tools HP gives you. Now: if you are some kind of OEM who wishes to resell this printer to your customers for some niche market (as I've done for a customer with a Kodak printer meant for the medical market), you can invest a very large amount of resources reverse engineering how it all works, but this is a very long and hard road that is probably well beyond your best efforts.
