Jim,

No. Based on my understanding of what you need, my recommendation is to use the queue id instead of the serial number. Under consideration for a future OS release is for PMPrinterGetDeviceURI() to return usb://<mfg>/<mdl>?<ser> for Tioga PMs instead of file:///dev/null. That would give you the printer serial number.

Is there any way for a PDE to get access to a printer's serial number before
a print job has started? I know the PM gets this info passed to it at
initialize time, but I need to handle multiple printers and know before a
job starts what a given printer's serial number is. Is this possible?

Thanks.
