     If the attempt to read the ID string should fail (for an
     unknown reason other than device disconnection), the reference
     to the ID string appears as:

     serial number with the following message:

       %SYSTEM-F-DEVOFFLINE, device is not in configuration or not available

     If the ID string is not supported by the USB printer in
     question, the reference to the ID string will appear as:

       %SHOW-W-NOSERIALNUM, Serial number could not be retrieved
