Hi
I'm currently monitoring some HP Printers in the office. I'm getting all the right data, printed pages, toner, ping, status, etc. However I'm interested in developing a report which displays printed pages in a certain period of time. Example I choose as the intial date March 1st, and as the Final Date March 8th, the report should give me the difference in printed pages.
Has anyone done this or has a report that is doing something similar?
Kind regards.

To clarify, are you needing reports for comparison (or even just individually) for specific time frames? One of our developers is working with a stacked graph right now for a (hopefully, very soon!) future release:

What I'm looking for is to have the difference of printed pages between two dates. It can be a graph or it can be a common output, for all printers or for a specific printer. Is this possible?

Hi Rene,
What I'm looking for is to have a report that displays the difference of printed pages between two periods of time. graphing is optional. I can see the printed pages when we are monitoring, however I can't seem to call the data from a report to be displayed.
Hope this explanation helps.

I tried a few things on my own to accomplish this but to no avail.

Unfortunately at this time we do not have something this specific already done but it could be possible through the SNMP wizard and maybe editing a plugin. That being said, there could be something already developed out there (or could be written) to do this as I would imagine others would want something of this nature.
