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

Regards,
Peter.

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.
