What program to monitor the activity of network printers?

Question

Active Directory

Hello. You need a program to monitor printing. There are about thirty printers on the network, mostly HP. I tried HP Web Jetadmin, but it seemed somehow incomprehensible to me, and even half of the park does not see printers. Maybe there are some alternatives that work without any problems out of the box. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can deploy absolutely any monitoring that is convenient for you.
Zabbix, nagios - but probably it will be like a cannon on sparrows.
You can take a bunch - grafana to display a graph, influxdb - as a database and Telegraf as an agent.
Another option is to use Mikrotik and their easy and powerful monitoring system The Dude.
Well, or the simplest printstore.ru/snmpdiscovery - Conditionally paid.

Answer 2

Expand SNMP

Answer 3

If you have money to buy software, then I would recommend Papercut, here you have both monitoring and print management.

Answer 4

EKM Insight has a good printer monitoring system.
