I tried this on my network-connected printers.  The only one that provided a
device ID is my new Samsung SCX-6555N, which is an office
copier/printer/scanner.

$ /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp <ip>
network RAW "Samsung SCX-6x55 Series" "Samsung SCX-6x55 Series"
"MFG:Samsung;CMD:PCL5E,PCL6,POSTSCRIPT,PDF,FWV,EXT;MDL:SCX-6x55
Series;CLS:PRINTER;MODE:PCL;" ""

The other printers don't give a useful answer.

network socket://<ip> "hp LaserJet 4200" "hp LaserJet 4200" "" ""
network socket://<ip> "HP LaserJet 2200" "HP LaserJet 2200" "" ""
network socket://<ip> "HP LaserJet 4100 MFP" "HP LaserJet 4100 MFP" "" ""
network socket://<ip> "HP Color LaserJet 3800" "HP Color LaserJet 3800" ""
""

I hope the first one helps.
