ppmPrinterName
Module: PRINTER-PORT-MONITOR-MIB
OID (symbolic): PRINTER-PORT-MONITOR-MIB::ppmPrinterName
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.2.1.2.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: SnmpAdminString
Access: read-only
Description: A user friendly name for this printer that may be used to facilitate user selection of a printer supported by a network system, in the locale specified by 'ppmGeneralNaturalLanguage'. This printer name may contain non-ASCII characters that are NOT allowed in a URI (RFC 3986) without percent-encoding.
Systems that implement the IETF Printer MIB v1 (RFC 1759) SHOULD implement this object as an augmentation to the Printer MIB v1.
Systems that implement the IETF Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805) MUST ensure that the value of this object is identical to the value of 'prtGeneralPrinterName' for each printer.
The value of this object SHOULD be unique across all printers on this network system and SHOULD be meaningful to end users (e.g., 'PrinterXYZ').
The value of this object SHOULD be set by an out-of-band method (e.g., local console) during installation (by the vendor or site administrator) and SHOULD NOT be subsequently modified, so that the value can be used as a static key for access to the printer.
The charset of this text string object is UTF-8 (RFC 3629), in order to support names that cannot be represented in US-ASCII.
What is ppmPrinterName?
This object holds a human-readable name assigned to a specific printer, in the language indicated by ppmGeneralNaturalLanguage, intended to help users pick the right device. Because the name is meant to be set once during installation and left unchanged, admins can treat it as a stable key for identifying a printer across driver installs and management tools rather than expecting it to reflect live status. For example, a print server might expose the value 'Finance-Floor2-LaserJet' so that end users installing drivers can recognize the correct printer by name.
