Unable to diffrentiate between TCP/IP and LPR port

[XML SAVE]

HI,

i have installed prinetr in Vista using TCP/IP port , and down loaded into
a XP client. and in client side i am not able to diffrentiate the address as
TCP/IP.

If we Create TCP/IP Port locally in Xp machine, It will cretae a regitry
entry with IP_ header, with this we can diffrentiate in Xp, but Incase of
Vista this is not happening, so is there any API , or some way to
diffrentiate TCP/IP port from others. if any bodyu has info Please provide it
me.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks&Regards,
koti

Are you using Standard TCP/IP Port in Vista or software that came with the
network card?

It's unclear what you are attempting to do.

HI ,

Thanks for u r response..

i am using TCP/IP port in vista not the software.

Problem description:

1. Install the driver in Vista, connect it Printer Using TCP/IP port(windows
port not software)
2.Down Load it to Client Machine(XP).
3. after Downloading it in client , i am not able to recognize what port the
driver is connected.
4. if server is XP instead of vista then i am able Identify this is becuase,
in Xp when TCP/IP port is created it will cretae registry enrty With header
IP_ , But this will not happen in Vista.
5. so is there any API or some other way to know the connected port is
TCP/IP port(if we see ports tab in printer and goto some port in description
it shown as TCP/IP port , how windows is able to regnise this).
6. Please provide me the info.

Thanks & Regards,

enumports API . You will need to get port_info_2 data.
