Does someone know if it's posible to monitor for example a HP Printer?

There should be no reason why not, if it is on the network and supports SNMP. You can probably find the MIB and identify the OID for something like page count?

Alternatively, if the printer is a Windows network share, then I think you can use the pnsclient agent along with mrtg-pnsclient.pl to query the perfmon cunters for the print queue.

The mrtg website may have some examples about HP jetdirect monitoring via snmp?
