      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:

        %SHOW-W-NOIDSTRING, ID String could not be retrieved

      The SHOW PRINTER/SERIALNUM command in this example displays the
      serial number for the printer LPA0.

      If the device has been disconnected and marked offline, the
      SHOW PRINTER/SERIALNUM command replaces the reference to the
      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
