i hope this is the right site to post this question.
First of all in my organization we have a lot of HP network printers (2015 and 2055) all have static ip configured and SNMPv2 up and running.
I'm looking for a lightweight tool that allows me to monitor the toner status of these printers.
Spiceworks do the job but IMHO has too many features and it's all except lightweight. I'd like to run it in a Linux VM with 512 Mb Ram (if possibile).
I checked out Nagios, Cacti, Zabbix, Zenoss and many other i don't recall the name but all of these tools are studied to check uptime or route status.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance

You might want to try www.opennms.org You will have to do some amount of custom coding for your printers, but that's unavoidable no matter what platform you choose. Are you planning to check with SNMP traps (they send a trap when toner is low) or check it with SNMP reads (you read it every X minutes)?
