Use getValue() instead of toString() when evaluating the return value. By using toString() (without MIB format information) the value of OCTET STRING is converted to hex representation if it contains non-printable characters.
The best option is to use MIB based value formatting with SNMP4J-SMI-PRO because it provides best control and uses the formatting the MIB authors recommend.

I can not find the getValue() method in SNMP4J 2.5.6. I only find toString or toValueString method.Can you tell which version has getValue() method?
List<VariableBinding[]> vbList = SnmpOidUtils.getTableOid(***);
VariableBinding[] arrVb = vbList .get(0);
System.out.println(arrVb[0] .getVariable().toString());

I think there is already a thread with all details available in this forum. If you cast the Variable to OctetString you get the getValue method.
