prtGeneralSerialNumber
Module: Printer-MIB
OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::prtGeneralSerialNumber
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-write
Description: A recorded serial number for this device that indexes some type device catalog or inventory. This value is usually set by the device manufacturer but the MIB supports the option of writing for this object for site-specific administration of device inventory or tracking.
What is prtGeneralSerialNumber?
This read-write string records the printer's serial number, normally set by the manufacturer but writable so a site can overwrite or supplement it for their own asset-tracking or inventory system. An admin might set it to an internal asset tag value if the vendor serial number doesn't match the organization's inventory scheme.
