.net - Determine the IP Address of a Printer in C#

Question

I would like to determine the IP address of a printer, using C# (.NET 2.0). I have only the printer share name as set up on the Windows OS, in the format \PC NamePrinter Name. The printer is a network printer, and has a different IP address to the PC. Does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards, Andy.

Just adding an another solution here using .Net Framework 4.0 or higher

Using System.Printing

 var server = new PrintServer();
            var queues = server.GetPrintQueues(new[] { EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Local, EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Connections });
            foreach (var queue in queues)
            {
                string printerName = queue.Name;
                string printerPort = queue.QueuePort.Name;
             }
