Tasty Printer Monitoring

Tasty.Printer.Monitoring :: 2017.4.28.1200 (Management Pack)

Enhanced monitoring of printers beyond that which you get from the standard Microsoft Printer Management Pack(s) that are available here at the time of this writing: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16174.microsoft-management-packs.aspx .
This is an adaptation of an original work by Steve Rachui found here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/steverac/2010/12/04/focusing-on-the-printer-printer-monitoring-mp-supplement/ .
The script for this datasource takes 24 command line parameters to control the error detection and flow of alerting. The script will detect 12 unique printer error conditions. By passing command line parameters you can control which of these error conditions are detected and whether or not an alert is raised on the problem immediately or only after a certain wait time. So, on the command line the first two parameters map to condition 1, the second 2 parameters map to condition 2 and so on for all 12 conditions. The first parameter of each condition is a 0=disabled or a 1=enabled followed by a value to indicate the alert wait time in terms of hours. If an error condition is to be disabled (0) then set the alert wait time to 0 (or any numeric value) as it will not be processed.
