HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

10. Does the HP UPD support SNMP v3?
SNMP v3 is not supported by UPD, therefore SNMP v3 enabled or disabled at the HP printer has no
impact on UPD SNMP v1/2 print, status or configuration. The HP UPD supports SNMP v1/2. All HP
devices supported by the HP UPD are v2 compatible.
11. Is SNMP required by the HP UPD for printing?
No, the SNMP stack installed by the HP UPD is only used for returning printer configuration and printer
status back to the printer driver. However, if the Microsoft SNMP stack utilized between the Microsoft
spooler and printer are incorrectly configured (i.e. SNMP name mismatch, or enabled on side but not the
other) the HP UPD printer object may go to status “Offline.”
12. What steps should be taken to confirm SNMP v2 community name alignment exists between the printer,
the HP UPD SMP stack, and MS SNMP stack?
The HP UPD SNMP community name defaults to ‘public’. Use any of the following methods to modify the
SNMP v2 community name:
