Re: How to Find the Model, Product, and Serial Number on Your HP Printer

Dear,

I want to retrieve the serial number of my printer HP laserJet P1102, M1132, P1006... etc. But I don't know how to do it, as my experience, I just get the info such as

$ hp-info
...
"Using device: hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102?serial=000000000Q80Q14JPR1a"
...

or 

I am sure with you the serial number returned from lsusb is the same with hp-info
--> " iSerial 3 000000000QH783J9PR1a " as I indicate below. And indeed, my real serial number (behind my printer) was: "CNJ8DDFF48".

< my result from lsusb -v >
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:042a Hewlett-Packard 
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               2.00
  bDeviceClass            0 (Defined at Interface level)
  bDeviceSubClass         0 
  bDeviceProtocol         0 
  bMaxPacketSize0        64
  idVendor           0x03f0 Hewlett-Packard
  idProduct          0x042a 
  bcdDevice            1.00
  iManufacturer           1 Hewlett-Packard
  iProduct                2 HP LaserJet Professional M1132 MFP
  iSerial                 3 000000000QH783J9PR1a
  bNumConfigurations      1
  Configuration Descriptor:

But it is not correctly my printer has a difference s/n with the return string "Q80Q14JPR1a" (wrong), instead of "CNJ8DDFF48" (correct s/n). I try some other ways but it is impossible.

PS: I am using the Ubuntu 13.10 and with the HPLIP-3.13.5.

Wish so could help me to get it.

Thanks and best regards.
