in reply to Net::SNMP, hrPrinterDetectedErrorStatus

How far can you trust the output of the Net-SNMP command line tools? Maybe they are just printing the data in hexdump format because the SNMP OID isn't known a string, or the data doesn't look like a string?

Without knowing anything about SNMP, it seems that at least snmpwalk.pl from the examples will use the snmp_type_ntop function to convert things to something printable. I don't know if the data you receive already is supposed to be the decoded value or maybe is still in ASN.1 format.

    The "snmpget" binary returns a value consistent with the printer's real observed status.

    Did try snmp_type_ntop, but it did not help. Thanks though!
