Printer port ipaddress [modified]
-
Hi, How do I programatically find the ipaddress of a printer port connected to a particular printer driver ? Added - If I have the port name how do I find out if the port is a 'Standard TCP/IP port' and once I have done that, how do I find the ipaddress ?

Use
EnumPrinters(). If level is 5, look at thepPortNamemember of the returned structure.

Thanks, but I did not make myself clear EnumPrinters gets the port names, but then how do I get from the port name to the IP address if the port is a Standard TCP/IP port? or even how do I find if it is a Standard TCP/IP port?
I have three networked printers configured on my machine.
pPortNamecontained 192.168.200.11, 192.168.200.100, and 192.168.200.150 for them.Kevin13 wrote:

Use
EnumPorts(NULL, 2, ...).

I have just checked my printer and the
pPortNamecontains IP_200.128.1.115. I then added another printer and port from control panel and specified the name of the port as 'A Test Port'. Then running the enumeration I got the original port ( IP_200.128.1.115 ) and the new one ( A Test Port ) returned as the pPortName. ThanksEnumPortsdoes return thepMonitorNamein the PORT_INFO_2 structure so now I have got half an answer. Doing some more searching it looks as if I need to use 'TCPMON Xcv Commands' which seems to be sort of documented in the DDK. -

The portname returned on our network for 'standard tcp/ip' always starts with IP_, so if this is returned strip of the IP_ and the rest is your IP address. Hope this helps.
