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.
