SNMP Trap test suggestions?

Hey Everybody, I'm trying to use Wireshark to see the SNMP protocol in action. I've hooked up a printer and allow it to run out of paper during a print job. Shouldn't that trigger an SNMP trap transmission? I can't seem to detect it over Wireshark. What's a good way to trigger an observable SNMP trap with a common external device ? Thanks! Dan

    Well... Assuming your're here because you have an F5, configure SNMP traps on the F5, and then you'll see traps sent in response to poolmembers going up/down, etc.
