You can do this for most printers with snmp, for example we use:
Xerox 4400
snmpget <ip address> public .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.16.5.1.2.1.1
Hewlett Packard 4250
snmpget <ip address> public 43.16.5.1.2.1.1
lexmark Optra c710
snmpget <ip address> public .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.16.5.1.2.1.1
I worked out the numbers using
snmpwalk <ip address> public
combined with guesswork!
It generally corresponds to whatever the lcd panel is saying.
