npadmin
npadmin is a command line tool to administer network printers. It is based on the concepts of JetAdmin and other vendor's tools but is designed to be scriptable. It uses SNMP to query the common printer MIB (RFC 1759) and return information about the printer. There is a surprising amount of information available in the common printer MIB and since the vendors all use their private MIBs, this appears to be the only tool that makes it available.

Changes: This new version of npadmin allows you to specify many printers on the command line which allows you to discover all the printers on a subnet and makes running scripts that monitor large numbers of printers much less demanding on the machine running it. Version 0.8.0 can also reboot some printers.
