Usually a problem with the printer. I have a cron to periodically check for disabled/rejecting queues and stuck jobs.
The cron checks if:
- we can ping the printer
- we can connect to the port the backend uses
- if the printer is accepting jobs (snmpget for
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrPrinterStatus.1)
You can also grab the printer display using snmpwalk
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.16.5.1.2.1
