Hi All,

I've written a network scan tool which can identify IP addresses which 
belong to printing devices, however now I'm trying to figure out a way of 
identifying what make+model of printer it is.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Nbtstat'ing some HP printers returns a unique NPI number, which is of little 
use as the old models and other manufacturers don't. I could connect to port 
80 and try to find info from there, but most HP's remote UI's dont identify 
a model and use a Java (yech) interface.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

Many thanks,

Matt
