Hi Anthony,
Thanks for reaching out! I'm sure others will respond, but IPP System Service is a good place to start if the protocol to be used is IPP:

Ira and/or Mike may also recommend various SNMP MIBs that are under the PWG's oversight including these and others, though SNMP has fallen out of fashion for various reasons:
RFC 3805 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3805.html>: Printer MIB v2
RFC 3806 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3806.html>: Printer Finishing MIB
