The Serial Number is a unique manufacturing identifier for the printer. The serial number is a critical identifier item for HP Web Jetadmin that is used to determine the uniqueness of a device along with other items such as MAC Address, IP Address, etc. Some functionality, such as Reports, will be blocked in HP Web Jetadmin if the serial number cannot be obtained. Therefore, HP Web Jetadmin will make strong efforts to obtain the serial number from third party devices. The most typical and widely supported object to extract for obtaining serial number is prtGeneralSerialNumber from the Standard Printer MIB.
