Solution: Disable or remove SNMPv1/2c authentication or use SNMP version 3 authentication.

SNMP v1/v2 protocols on Xerox printers.

Login to web console > properties


Connectivity > Protocols > SNMP configureation


Once you enable the SNMPv3 in the web console, need to go printer server and un-tick the "SNMP status". (If your printer is showing offline)



Some Xerox comes with their own print server (Fiery). Login to Fiery web console > Configure > Launch configure. (enter ID and password)



Go to network > SNMP.

You can change the security level to maximum (default is Medium). If you not using SNMP service, can turn off by un-tick the "enable SNMP" box.
