Hi everybody, brand new zabbix-user here.
This might be a really newbie question but here it goes:
When trying to make a template for a Xerox 6510 i based myself of a community-one and did a snmpwalk to find other interesting parameters.
Some parameters in the original template did not work on this printer (and that's ok), but when i add some of the results from the snmp-walk i get no data in zabbix, even though snmpwalk from the zabbix-server returns the correct value as expected.
tail /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log
...
4619:20190108:232004.934 resuming SNMP agent checks on host "aks-jsv-p3-xeroxfarge": connection restored
4619:20190108:232012.947 SNMP agent item "Pages_printed_color" on host "aks-jsv-p3-xeroxfarge" failed: first network error, wait for 15 seconds
4619:20190108:232042.965 SNMP agent item "Pages_printed_color" on host "aks-jsv-p3-xeroxfarge" failed: another network error, wait for 15 seconds
....
snmpwalk -v 2c -c Public 172.20.20.43 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.53.13.2.1.6.1.20.33
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.253.8.53.13.2.1.6.1.20.33 = INTEGER: 285
(this is printed pages color)

The tricky part is that some fields from the snmpwalk seems to work fine, but other fields does not.
What is it that the snmpwalk can do that zabbiz "can't"? (my best guess is that I have failed to grasp something important : P )
Does anyone have a hint on where to start looking or perhaps something to read?
I have not installed any MIB-files except for what is included in the v4 installer. Do I need to install MIB's when i know the OID's?
