Is there any powershell command to get the port IP address for a printer. Get-printer will give me the port name but not the IUP address which over time has become different on many of ours.

I need to be able to get the printer port IP of a specific printer or one ata time.

For example this one will get me the Port Name of a specific printer but not the IP address of the port.

Get-Printer -name "arth-208-1nb" | select-object -ExpandProperty portname

Did you actually read the help? Did you try the command? Did you look at how it works and what it returns?

The command does exactly what you ask.

Get-Printer | select name,portname

Get-PrinterPort | select name

You have to combine the portname from the printer with the Het-Printerport command to get the port.

Only directly connected printers with "Standard TcpIp" ports have an IP.

$portname = Get-Printer "printer name" | select -expand portname
Get-PrinterPort $portname

this $portname = Get-Printer "printer name" | select -expand portname gives me this error. It doesn;t recognize printer name

Get-Printer : No MSFT_Printer objects found with property 'Name' equal to 'printer name'. Verify the value of the
property and retry.

First learn basic PowerShell then use PowerShell help on all commands that you wish to use.

help Get-Printer -online

We cannot teach you basic PowerShell. Learning that is your responsibility.

Ummm . . . I'm pretty sure he means that you should supply the name of the printer you're working on -- unless you have a printer that's literally named "printer name"!
