Hi,

You can get the IPAddress by using the machine name of the Printer.

IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName("MachineName");
string strIPAdress = hostInfo.AddressList[0].ToString();

I think it's the same as the computer's name, is it not?

Hi,

In case of a network printer it may not be so. When I see in my Printer Properties I see it as : Printer01 on Server01 and I can access the printer as
\\Server01\Printer01 and the Server also has other Printers.

So, I guess you need to explicitly know the Server to which the Printer is attached.

Hi, thanks for your reply, but the question is get the Printer's IP address, not the ip address of the host which printer installed on.

I install a network printer, which port is "ne4" and the port is TCP/IP standard Port, whose ip address is 192.168.0.2, My question is how to get the Ipaddress(192.168.0.2) of the Port?

Thanks all. :)
