• [gentoo-user] CUPS and printer serial numbers

    From Peter Humphrey@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 24 18:00:01 2024
    Hello list,

    Is it possible to get CUPS to report the serial number of a network-connected printer?

    Not from what I have come across. The commands lpstat and lpinfo do not show the S/N of my networked printer.

    I can't recall what a USB printer interface reveals, I haven't used a USB connected printer for more than a decade.

    You should be able to find more information, potentially including its S/N, if you connect to the printer's GUI directly and access its admin control panel.
