Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to add a printer using the add-printerport and add-printer commands.
I can add my print server printers manually using the GUI, but I'm not able to do this by command line.
If I run this command I can add a printer but with the wrong port type:
add-printerport -name "Canon2" -printerhostaddress "http://locationofmyprintserver/"
add-printer -name "Canon2" -drivername "Canon iR-ADV C3325/3330 PCL6" -port "Canon2"
When I add the print server by GUI I get the correct port type:
What parameter do I need to set in add-printerport to get it to add the port as Internet Port instead of Standard TCP/IP Port?
Thanks!
