After installing SP2 I've noticed about 10 of my 120 printers were Offline. I
understand that there's a change in the way SNMP status is handled in SP2. I
can't seem to find any documentation on what's changed between SP1 and SP2.
I've un-checked the SNMP Status Enabled box in my printer ports for now, but
would like to try and understand what the real issue is.

I'm looking for this solution as well... anyone? Bueller?

I got the same problem. How do I fix this?

I would say the problem is that in server 2003 not sp2 version, the
printer status was ready if the printer did not respond to SNMP. This
has changed in SP2 and now the printer status is reported as offline
if the printer does not respond to snmp. See this article:

To solution is to enable SNMP on the printer or uncheck SNMP status
enabled box.
