Another useful cmdlet is Get-PrinterPort, which allows you to retrieve a list of printer ports installed on a print server. For example, the following command displays information about all ports on HOST7 of the Standard TCP/IP Port type:
PS C:\> Get-PrinterPort -ComputerName HOST7 | where Description -like “*TCP*”
Name ComputerName Description PortMonitor
——— ———————- —————- ———–
172.16.11.55 HOST7 Standard TCP/IP Port TCPMON.DLL
