Hi,

How do I programatically find the ipaddress of a printer port connected to a particular printer driver ?

Added - If I have the port name how do I find out if the port is a 'Standard TCP/IP port' and once I have done that, how do I find the ipaddress ?

Use EnumPrinters(). If level is 5, look at the pPortName member of the returned structure.

Thanks,

but I did not make myself clear EnumPrinters gets the port names, but then how do I get from the port name to the IP address if the port is a Standard TCP/IP port? or even how do I find if it is a Standard TCP/IP port?

I have three networked printers configured on my machine. pPortName contained 192.168.200.11, 192.168.200.100, and 192.168.200.150 for them.

Use EnumPorts(NULL, 2, ...).

I have just checked my printer and the pPortName contains IP_200.128.1.115. I then added another printer and port from control panel and specified the name of the port as 'A Test Port'. Then running the enumeration I got the original port ( IP_200.128.1.115 ) and the new one ( A Test Port ) returned as the pPortName.

Thanks EnumPorts does return the pMonitorName in the PORT_INFO_2 structure so now I have got half an answer.

Doing some more searching it looks as if I need to use 'TCPMON Xcv Commands' which seems to be sort of documented in the DDK.

The portname returned on our network for 'standard tcp/ip' always starts with IP_, so if this is returned strip of the IP_ and the rest is your IP address.

Hope this helps.

Hello All!

I want use function "SymSrvGetFileIndexes" in my project,
but it requires DbgHelp.dll version 6.3

I obtain DbgHelp.dll 6.3, by installing Debugging Tools for Windows.

But where can I get DbgHelp.lib and DbgHelp.h ????

help me please...

1. Find the latest versions of DbgHelp.dll, DbgHelp.h and DbgHelp.lib files.
The latest versions of these files are always available with Debugging Tools for Windows[^] package. Download and install Debugging Tools for Windows (when installing, choose custom installation and install SDK).

2. Configure Visual Studio to find DbgHelp.h and DbgHelp.lib files.
These files are supplied with Visual Studio and Platform SDK, but it is necessary to use the latest files – the files that come with Debugging Tools for Windows. Thus it is necessary to configure Visual Studio include and library directories so that the latest files will be found first.

Use the following directories:
Include -> %DebuggingTools%\sdk\inc
Library -> %DebuggingTools%\sdk\lib\i386

Thanks!

But now when I call function
SymbolServer("srv*D:\websymbols*", "ntoskrnl.pdb", &Id, Val1, Val2, path);

error C3861: 'SymbolServer': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

How to call SymbolServer???

in SDK it is described as:

<br />
The SymbolServer function is an entry point to the symbol server DLL.<br />
It is used to locate a symbol file.<br />
The PSYMBOLSERVERPROC type defines a pointer to this callback function.<br />
SymbolServer is a placeholder for the library-defined function name.<br />
<br />
BOOL CALLBACK SymbolServer(<br />
  LPCSTR params,<br />
  LPCSTR filename,<br />
  PVOID id,<br />
  DWORD two,<br />
  DWORD three,<br />
  LPSTR path<br />
);<br />

What I do wrong?

You can use
CBitmap or CImage or LoadImage or OleLoadPicture or
Graphics::DrawImage(...) Image::FromFile() or (i think example) CXImage in the codeproject
and...
