On Windows 11, you may sometimes need to find your printer’s manufacturer, model, and serial number for various reasons, including getting the proper ink cartridges or toner, replacing parts, or troubleshooting problems.

Whatever the case might be, Windows 11 (version 22H2 and higher) can show the manufacturer, printer model, serial number, and other details from the printer’s settings page in the Settings app.

This guide will teach you the steps to quickly find the printer information on Windows 11, so you don’t have to walk to the printer to check that information in the stickers, the device’s complicated menu, or using commands.
