yes, the HR MIB is supportet from the Windows SNMP Service about the
windows agent hostmib.dll. This agent/dll create the mib tree, for example:
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.1 = 1
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.2 = 2
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.3 = 3
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.4 = 4
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.5 = 5
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.6 = 6
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.7 = 7
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.8 = 8
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.9 = 9
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.10 = 10
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceType.1 = OID:
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTypes.hrDevicePrinter

no there is no other printer MIB in the system (i think that can exist
only one!) we want to develop our own printer mib dll.

yes we want to use the existing SNMP HOSTMIB agent dll.

this ist exactly the problem! we need a unique hrDeviceIndex in the
Printer MIB. And this unique Index comming from the Host Mib, isn´t it?
i think we must install our "printer" IN A WAY(?) that the SNMP HOSTMIB
agent dll identify this as a printer. and create for us the unique
hrDeviceIndex. in our example case:
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceIndex.11 = 11
...
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTable.hrDeviceEntry.hrDeviceType.11 = OID:
host.hrDevice.hrDeviceTypes.hrDevicePrinter
:-)
how can we do that the SNMP HOSTMIB agent dll work for us? :-)
i am very interested in your answer!
all the best
