Enabling SNMP on Windows Server 2003 SP2 shows printer as Offline

I've tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946198 and no luck!

Any ideas? I've been Googling for 2 hours.

  1. Best Answer

    You have to enable SNMP and enter credentials on the printer's management page first, then enable on the server. That resolved my issue.

  2. Is SNMP v1 enabled on the printer? Has the SNMP get community name been changed?

    If SNMP v1 has been disabled, the printer won't respond. If the SNMP get community name has been changed from the default (usually "public"), then the new SNMP get community name must be entered into the port tab (printer properties, ports tab, configure port, community name field)
