I have a brother laser printer and I connected it via the Brother integration. It worked fine until recently.
Now I am constantly getting this error
Retrying setup: No SNMP response received before timeout
Does anyone have an idea what that means? Is that a bug in the integration or something wrong with my printer?
Your printer IP changed or something is wrong with your network. SNMP is a table that most devices have that contains information about the device.
Or you (or brother in an update) have turned of the feature in the printers configuration.
That too if that’s a thing
When I upgraded my kernel on Ubuntu 20.04 I had to install SNMP
sudo apt install snmpd
That fixed it for me
It is and most printers have that ability.
The presentation of the option is usually the thing that make or break it for the users.
Printers where the enable/disable feature is listed with the SNMP configuration generally figure it out, but some printers have a special section where it list all services with the option to enable/disable them and when SNMP is listed together with IPP, mail print and the like, then a security consiscious user might disable it, thinking its just another unused printing protocol.
Thanks for your help! It was indeed that I had added the printer before I reserved a fixed IP for it on my router. So it was having the wrong IP.
Deleted and re-added and now it works
