Hmmm, I don't have snmp in that folder.

[rodd at localhost ~]$ ls /usr/lib/cups/filter/
commandtoescpx  imagetops      pstopxl        rastertohp     texttops

Tried this and it works.  Hmmm

 I didn't have to do anything other than select it.

I'm not aware of having changed any settings on the actual printer that might
have stopped it broadcasting this information.
