here's the scenario - I need to run HP Download Manager and update our
jetdirects. Unfortunately, we block broadcasts at the routers. I can export
the printers reg key from our print server and do a search on "portname",
but the actual portname is 2 lines down from the line containing the actual
port name. So you have something like this:
Name: portname
Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Data: IP_10.1.1.10
Now obviously I can search on "IP_" and get most of them, but that'll leave
out a number of printers where we're using the jetdirect hostname as the
portname (Greg will never believe that I convinced people to go this route
and get away from static IPs and DHCP reservations. :D )
Anyone have any ideas? In my younger, semi-smarter days I was able to whip
up small codes in BASIC or FORTRAN that could do what I want, but I've long
since forgotten how to do stuff like that.
