| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:49 | comment | added | Eric Johnson | This is an RDP server at my college so I would do not have admin privileges, and the printers are most likely under a different vlan not visible to the outside world. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:48 | comment | added | A1985 | Sorry that I couldn't provide you the perfect solution... I can't replicate your case, because I've got admin privileges on our printserver. Can't you maybe ask your administrator for the IP? Or even easier, if he could share the printer on the printserver? =) | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:47 | comment | added | A1985 | Sorry I was wrong about the Location key. It should be the "Port"-Key. My last idea for today (I have to go to bed now -.-) would be to use an IP Scanner like "Angry IP Scan" to search your subnet for all devices - most likely including your printer =) Also depending on your printer there are tools to search the network for those printers (Kyocera and HP do have that - the Kyocera Net Viewer even shows me some HP printers kyoceradocumentsolutions.de/index/document_solutions/…) | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:37 | comment | added | Eric Johnson | For the printers that even have a location (most of them don't even have the value) there is no data. | |

You can find the Location under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers. Under Location you should find the IP of the printer

| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:21 | comment | added | A1985 | Can you open the registry? Let me boot up my working laptop to see how it's setup there. You should be able to find the port in the registry as long you can access it. (the registry on the server obviously) | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:19 | comment | added | Eric Johnson | The printer is a network printer. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 22:16 | comment | added | Eric Johnson | As I do not have admin rights, I am not able to see anything under ports besides the port name and description. Also it is under printer properties, not preferences. | |
