Add printer IP port using Powershell

The below will create a TCP/IP printer port using PowerShell:

$server=”servername”
$printerip=”1.1.1.1″
$port = ([WMICLASS]“\\$server\ROOT\cimv2:Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort”).createInstance()
$port.Name=”IP_10.25.128.31″
$port.SNMPEnabled=$false
$port.Protocol=1
$port.HostAddress=$printerip
$port.Put()
$port

To Automate it somewhat you can feed the parameters into it using arguments, you can run the commands using excel and copy into a batch file.

# This script requires 3 paramaters at the command in the form:
# .\CreatePrinterPort.ps1 servername IPAddress PortName
$server=$args[0]
$printerip=$args[1]
$port = ([WMICLASS]“\\$server\ROOT\cimv2:Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort”).createInstance()
$port.Name=$args[2]
$port.SNMPEnabled=$false
$port.Protocol=1
$port.HostAddress=$printerip
$port.Put()
$port
