Determine the IP Address of a Printer in C#

Question

I would like to determine the IP address of a printer, using C# (.NET 2.0). I have only the printer share name as set up on the Windows OS, in the format \\PC Name\Printer Name. The printer is a network printer, and has a different IP address to the PC. Does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards, Andy.

Answer 1

Just adding an another solution here using .Net Framework 4.0 or higher

Using System.Printing

 var server = new PrintServer();
            var queues = server.GetPrintQueues(new[] { EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Local, EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Connections });
            foreach (var queue in queues)
            {
                string printerName = queue.Name;
                string printerPort = queue.QueuePort.Name;
             }

Check this question: How to get Printer Info in C#.NET?. I think that you have to get the property PortName from the WMI properties.
