    Hi,

    Clarification regarding snmp packets.

    I have AIX 6.1.
    I want to check the printer status by checking the snmp packets.
    I have created a paper jam in the printer.

    I am giving print to the printer using lp command.

    I want some command to capture snmp packets (snmp get requests from AIx and get response from printer).

    I used iptrace command like below, but it is not capturing snmp packets other packets are captured like udp, tcp..
    1. iptrace command:
    /usr/sbin/iptrace -a -i en0 iptrace.out &
    2. Give print to printer:
    lp -d queue_name file_name
    3. view the process:
    ps -ef | grep iptrace
    4. Kill the process:
    kill -1 process_id
    5. Report:
    ipreport -r -s iptrace.out >/ipreport.network

    How to send snmp request from AIX to the printer so that printer can give response to AIX.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
