First I want to thank you for having posted your question here.

This is the only way other people can help you or benefit from the
help you'll receive.

To be able to use SNMP hardware accounting with your printer you
must do the following things :

 1 Either from your web browser (following HP's doc) or from the 
   telnet command, log-in to your printer and ensure that SNMP
   queries coming from your print server are accepted. Set the
   readonly SNMP community name to 'public' (probably the default
   anyway).

 2 Once this is done, you can test it with PyKota's snmp.py file.   
   Just type :

        python snmp.py YourPrinterIpAddress

   And see the result. If it correctly prints the printer's internal        
   page counter value, then all is fine. If not, go to 1.

 3 If your print queue is named "HP2430DTN" in CUPS (for example),
   add the following lines at the end of your ~pykota/pykota.conf
