Re: [nv-l] HP Printer Traps error

[John M Gatrell <John.Gatrell@uk.ibm.com>]

You need to run the addtrap command
with suitable parameters.

The infomation comes either from running
mib2trap on the HP MIB and capturing the output
in a script file. You can ignore errors
from the rest of the mib as long as something appears in the script file.

Or manually from looking in trapd.log.
In particular you need the 'Enterprise'
number and the 'Specific' trap number.

I seem to remember running mib2trap
on a Unix version of Netview,
and taking the script across to the
windows version, renaming it as a '.bat'

It should also be possible to do the
same through the graphical interface.
