I am using this plugin https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ck/details to get service details for a HPLJ4560. When I run the plugin from the command line, it works fine, but once I add it in the cfg files, I receive the message "No valid check type specified to -t parameter". I must be passing the parameters incorrectly, but nothing I have tried so far has worked. I've tried using " ", no quotes and tried defining a different separator with on luck.

./check_snmp_printer -H 10.x.x.xx -C public -t "CONSUM Image Fuser Kit"

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 nagios 4.2.2
Thanks in advance!

You don't need to specify the IP address of the host on the arguments, the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro will take care of that for you.
Edit your service check and change this from to

Thank you very much! That did the trick!

FWIW I had to make changes to the other command as well, in case anyone else has this issue.

check_command check_snmp_printer!public!'CONSUM Image Fuser Kit'

Thanks for the update! Are we safe to assume this can be closed or do you have any related questions?

Yes, this can be closed.

Thanks again!
