I want to get the printerport information from a printcluster on windows server 2008 r2. On a normal printserver I do this with powershell and a wmi-query, something like this:

Get-WmiObject -computer localhost -class "Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort" | select  HostAddress

This query doesn't work on a printcluster environment, with computername "localhost" I get only the local installed ports. But the queues I want are in the cluster. Also when I change the computername to the clustername this query doesn't work.

Is there a WMI class, where you can access the printerinformation like queues, driver or ports from a printcluster?

  • Thank you for the article! I found a way to get the information out of the cluster. I exported the complete printserverconfiguration directly in print management with PrintBRM. The exported file with the extension ".printerExport" I extracted winzip. In the extracted folder I have now XML-Files with all information of pritnerqueues. drivers, ports... Not the way I was looking for, but a nice workaround. Commented Sep 14, 2016 at 12:41
