We have several (>200) printers, and to minimise the administrative overheads for them, we would like to insert all of the information (eg contact and location) in to the web page of the printer, and for this information to then be displayed in Lansweeper.
This works for us, only some of the time, though. It has failed on various printers, including Ricoh Aficios and Lexmark.
I have used the device tester to check that Lansweeper should be able to see it and here are the results for a Lexmark X652de :
