Let’s see how to configure SNMP protocol settings for network printers on Windows print server.įirst of all, make sure that your printer supports SNMP. Google Cloud Print is a service provided by Google that allows you to print to a printer registered to your Google account using a network-compatible device, such as a mobile phone or computer, without installing the printer driver on the device. If no SNMP response has been received from the printer, such a printer is considered unavailable and goes offline on the print server.

The print server sends an SNMP request to the printer and waits for a response.

How does Windows determine network printer availability status? In Windows 7 and newer, by default the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to query the network printer state.

Then make sure that the printer is turned on and accessible over the network (check printer availability using ping by IP address, make sure that you can open the printer management web interface). Open the Print Management console on your print server, find the printer with the Queue Status = Offline state, open its print queue properties and make sure that the “ Use Printer Offline” option is not checked in its settings.
