no right now the netmask is on the printer is 255.255.252.0 not 0.0.0.0.
I don't know from where it(NetView) taking this value as 0.0.0.0.
Thanks a lot

Try using the netmask 255.255.255.255 instead of 0.0.0.0.  Both masks mean
the same and the difference didn't matter to Netview 4.1 but may be Netview
5.X doesn't like the 0.0.0.0 mask anymore.

Good luck!

P.S.  You didn't specify what host you are running Netview on...but if'n
it's AIX, look at that host's snmpd.conf file to make sure you have correct
entries in it and that you can do an "snmpwalk" or "snmpinfo" command to
the printer.  If not, something is wrong on your AIX host.  Also check that
ipaddr/name resolution for the printer is working correctly on your Netview
host.
