A printer is one of the most commonly used hardware devices for a PC, and if you own a printer, it is important that you have access to its details like the manufacturer, model, and serial number. This information can often come in handy when you’re facing issues with your printer and want to get it serviced or replaced.

If it is a relatively new printer that hasn’t received any structural damage and is as intact as it was on day one, you can find a sticker somewhere on its body that would have, not just the Model and Serial Number but several more important details. If there isn’t a sticker or it has been scrapped off the printer’s body, you can follow the steps mentioned below. A prerequisite here is for the printer whose details you are seeking to be connected to your PC, be it a wireless printer or a wired one.
