Im trying to create a program or a script to remotely retrieve all the hardwares (computers, printers etc) serialnumbers and I was just wondering if WMI is necessary.

Because printers, even local printers, don't report details like their serial numbers to Windows, there is no way by default to get this information using ConfigMgr -- none of the printer classes I reviewed had a any type of serial number attribute.
