Hello !
Can you say me how I must proceed for create a new data query for an OID of a printers ????
info: I know how to get MIB of this host.
thanks for your help

1) Search! many people have created these
2) read in the documentation site on how to create the script/templates.

I fully agree with Reinhard.
If you want to graph a single OID (or even several), you can use the "SNMP Generic OID" templates.

Can you :
- go to data sources
- click add
- select the "SNMP - Generic OID template"
- fill the "Name' and 'OID' fields, and adjust the maximum value
- save
- go to graph manament
- click add
- select the "SNMP - Generic OID template"
- fill the "Legend" and "Title" fields
- point to the data source previously created

From http://docs.cacti.net/node/225
You don't need to create a data query to graph only a few OIDs...What is a Data Query? Here's the text from cacti's website (Chapter 10. Data Queries):
Data queries are not a replacement for data input methods in Cacti. Instead they provide an easy way to query, or list data based upon an index, making the data easier to graph. The most common use of a data query within Cacti is to retrieve a list of network interfaces via SNMP. .... While listing network interfaces is a common use for data queries, they also have other uses such as listing partitions, processors, or even cards in a router.
One requirement for any data query in Cacti, is that it has some unique value that defines each row in the list. This concept follows that of a 'primary key' in SQL, and makes sure that each row in the list can be uniquely referenced. Examples of these index values are 'ifIndex' for SNMP network interfaces or the device name for partitions.
There are two types of data queries that you will see referred to throughout Cacti. They are script queries and SNMP queries. Script and SNMP queries are virtually identical in their functionality and only differ in how they obtain their information. A script query will call an external command or script and an SNMP query will make an SNMP call to retrieve a list of data.
All data queries have two parts, the XML file and the definition within Cacti. An XML file must be created for each query, that defines where each piece of information is and how to retrieve it. This could be thought of as the actual query. The second part is a definition within Cacti, which tells Cacti where to find the XML file and associates the data query with one or more graph templates.
