PRTG displays the number of pages already printed since the printer was commissioned.
You'll always know the actual fill level of printer and toner cartridges.
You can eliminate the Printer Cover Not Closed error source.
You'll always know about the current printer status and any error messages displayed.
PRTG comes with various built-in notification methods: Email, SMS, push notification, Microsoft Teams message, Slack message, or even running an external application – you specify when and how the responsible person or team will be informed. Simply add contacts and edit, delete, or pause your notifications at any time.
The notification system is built into the monitoring software and is available at no extra charge. Because of its integrated quality, configuring the alert feature takes just a few clicks.
PRTG proactively alerts you if something is wrong in your network based on your defined thresholds. The moment metrics exceed or fall below a certain value, you'll receive a notification. This means you can intervene immediately and even before clients or coworkers are aware of any problems.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The SNMP Printer sensor monitors various types of printers. It can show the following:
The SNMP HP LaserJet Hardware sensor monitors performance counters on an HP LaserJet hardware device. It can show the following:
The Windows Print Queue sensor reads the print queue on the parent device and returns the number of jobs in the print queue. It can monitor queues for all printers that are locally installed. It can show the following:
The SNMP Hardware Status sensor monitors the status of a server's hardware component. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.

You should monitor the following aspects in your printers:
In 3D printing, a three-dimensional object is constructed based on a 3D model in digital form. Usually, the material needed is added or 'printed' layer by layer.
Yes, PRTG can monitor, for example, Raise3D printers. With the help of the EXE/Script Advanced sensor, aspects like the printer status, the extruder temperature and feed rate, the heat bed temperature, and the job status can be monitored. Learn more about 3D printer monitoring with PRTG here.
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is a protocol for management information transfer in networks, particularly for use in LANs. PRTG uses SNMP for various network monitoring purposes, for example, you can monitor the status of your printers via SNMP with the SNMP Printer sensor.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
