not sure how to enable the traps on your hp - usually, the setup options
will ask you to specify to whom snmp traps should be sent (the trap manager,
specified by ip address/hostname), and what types of traps to send; i.e.,
authentication failure, offline/online, etc.  Can you telnet into the
printer and view/change config settings?  If yes, is there a snmp option?
On the other hand, it's possible that the printer *is* sending traps, and
that netview is simply displaying them without writing them to a log file
(assuming this is possible.)
