Where is the search field and where is the packet info field
Hello bwillie
Welcome to ask.wireshark.org.
In general, a printer's model number is rarely broadcasted over the network. Since there is no fixed field in a network protocol there is no feature in Wireshark to identify the model.
Under certain, very specific circumstances, you might have a chance to find some information about the printer in a trace file:
Good luck

There is no guaranteed way to do it.
If some protocol happens to involve a printer sending a model number indication in a packet, and you've captured the traffic containing that packet, then you could get it from that packet. The field that contains the printer model number would depend on the protocol being used.
One protocol that might include printer model number information is the Internet Printing Protocol; however, there are other protocols as well.
