Hi jguinch, thanks for answer,

just tried to use UDPBind(IP, 161)  to a LAN printer that is SNMP enabled, but I get "Could not bind, code: 10049" error.

Also tried with UDPOpen(IP, 161) but with this command I always get "Connection successful." even with not pingable or wrong IP addresses :blink:

.... think there should be a better (and bulletproof  :)) way

Hi mLipok, thanks for the answer

already tested that "Reading toner status", but it doesn't run on my system,

I get this error:

...wmi_toner_status.au3 (4) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$objWmiServices = $objWmiLocator.ConnectServer("", "rootsnmplocalhost")
$objWmiServices = $objWmiLocator.ConnectServer("", "rootsnmplocalhost")^ ERROR

anyway, it could be interesting, but I do not know if could be used to just check if a remote device is SNMP enabled.

Try with rootsnmplocalhost  instead of rootsnmplocalhost

 

Thanks  jguinch,

with your suggested syntax the above script now works, so now I can elaborate on it.

anyway, despite to that topic title ">Reading toner status from SNMP device" it seems instead that the script by ptrex show various of the device properties but the toner level. Also seems indeed that the posts on that topic are discussing about another script of that one  in the first post. However it's an interesting script that shows how to use SNMP via WMI.

I'm still searching an easy way on how to check if a network device is enabled to SNMP ....

according to what stated here, what I am in search of, should be an "SNMP Ping"

following the answer suggested here and taking this as example, I come out with this draft that first will scan your entire LAN for any IP device and then will try to get an snmp response from all the IP devices found alive . If an snmp response is returned, it is printed by ConsoleWrite().

Any improvements are welcome.
