What is prtDeviceRefIndex?

This read-only integer links a row in the Printer MIB's device table back to the corresponding entry in the Host Resources MIB (hrDeviceIndex) for that same physical sub-unit. It lets management software correlate printer-specific details with the generic Host Resources inventory entry for the same device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.3.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtDeviceRefIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.3.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtDeviceRefIndex.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> prtDeviceRefIndex.1
