HP Designjet Printers - How to Use PML Objects Via SNMP

How to use Peripheral Management Language (PML) objects via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

PML Overview:

PML is an object-oriented request-reply printer management language. It is composed of PML commands and PML objects. Each PML object is associated with a unique piece of printer information. PML commands specify the way the objects are accessed. SNMP commands are used to remotely access the PML objects and are automatically translated into PML commands by the HP JetDirect networked print server.
