That's quite common, we see that all of the time. I don't see an issue.

Extremely common.

That was fast. 3 responses in less than a minute.

I figured it was. Just wanted to see if there were any "yes, but..."

Thanks

We have Xerox leased copiers/printers and we had to install a monitoring app on one of our servers.

I pity you.

It is common, however just make sure when they configure only the Static IP of the printers to be picking them up. Also make sure the SNMP community is not public (also none of your devices should have that).

Xerox are not bad printers.

I'd argue you about that. What size printers are you using?

WorkCentre 7655, WorkCenter 5855 and more. I have run Xerox printers a long time even there are some 4150 still alive.

I should ask them about this. I am guessing that all the printers are going to have to be networked now.

Yes, otherwise it will not work.
