At work, we connected print-server to a printer via USB, to make a printer network-available.

Setting-up as network printer was successful, but at work, additionally we need to specify a port number.

Scanning using netstat lists hardware available in LAN, but it doesn't pick IP address of print-server, although I'm able to ping it.

Is it possible to scan for open port for a specific IP address, let's say xx.xx.xx.xx using netstat or any other tools?

    What system at your work is requiring the port?

  • @music2myear Hi! In-house developed software requires port of a printer. It seems print-server that supports jetdirect has port 9100.

The program netstat is for displaying open and connected ports and sockets on local machine. To scan and get open ports on remote machine you can use nmap. The command is something like:

nmap <IP of print server>

But before this you can check these ports: 2501, 5001, 9100, 9101, 9102, and 9600 which are usually used from print server. If you want to scan for all ports (more than 1000 by default) you should use command:

nmap -p- <IP of print server>
