Where does Discovery gets the value for Printer Name?

[rmeyer]

I have inherited Discovery at my shop. I am trying to determine where mid_server gets the value for a printer's name. Some printers seem to have a value from the device (such as AFICIO MP 4001) and some have the "real" name that we use for our printers (such as TUL34MC-MPC4503 which includes location info in the name). All of the CIs have been created/updated by mid_server.

You would have to check on what your Discovery properties page has set for hostname trusting. You would have to uncheck the SNMP property and rely on all network equipment (switches, routers, printers, UPSs, etc) to rely only on DNS alone.
