HP Web Jetadmin relies upon hrDeviceDescr to display the model name. Properly truncated model names are generally provided in proprietary objects. HP Web Jetadmin does not know how to truncate a response to hrDeveiceDescr if it contains too many characters. For example, if a Lexmark printer responds with “Lexmark X652de 7932M8R LJ.MN.P092?, HP Web Jetadmin cannot know where to truncate the string.
