Hi All,

I have been working with displaying the details of printers lately and I have come across a few printers which use WSD ports. I need to display the IP Address details of the printers . I get the IP address of printers which uses the TCP IP ports but not the ones with the WSD Ports. Is there any way to find the IpAddress of the printers using WSD ports? I have come across a Location parameter which displays the IpAddress in a URL format(http://10.xxx.xxx.xx:<portnumber>). Would it help using this parameter ?

I'm using PowerShell to get the details. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

And if you ping the printer name wouldn`t it show the IP. If ping doesnt work, on a system that has it installed, right click, go to properties, click the web services tab. The IP address will be there. Or under; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SWD\DAFWSDProvider . The value you are looking for is called LocationInformation. This can also been seen in Device Manager under WSD inside the properties tab.

    Have a look at this thread (and each of the embedded links in any replies): 404596-find-out-ip-associated-with-wsd-port

    I think the short answer is "you can't".
