One of my colleagues has actually been working on some devmon templates for other printers (Kyocera, HP). He hasn't finished them, otherwise they would be in svn ...

Any contributions are welcome! However, as there are some changes I would like to make to how the templates work (e.g., use MIB data, either by using a MIB parsing module, or switching SNMP modules to one that supports MIB parsing, also making templates more generic and allow more than one template to be used per device), I haven't wanted to spend too much time on documenting things that may not be necessary in future. But, improvements to the existing documentation to make it more accurate etc. would still be worthwhile now.

BTW, I feel this may be more appropriate for the -devel list (but if you don't agree, we can keep it on this list).
