Re: mp4001 sometimes offline (ping ok)
This may be a wildcard shot, but we have an overbearing IT dept, anytime someone spooks them with a possible security issue, they implement a response without thinking through the consequences. They received notice that SNMP is a GREAT security issue so what do they do but turn off snmp throughout all of company. Got a lot of issues like you were describing. Of course the correct way to do it is to replace the read/write filters with something other than Public in SNMP. Guess they didn't read that in the security warnings. The first morning they pulled the trigger I had 20 printers show offline before 8:30. And did they tell me what they did? H3LL NO!! Had to figure it out on my own because snmp was their dirty little secret.
