Please add some!

     string szIPAddress="";
     string xcvName = String.Format(",XcvPort {0}", portName);

Sample Code:

     IntPtr buf= Marshal.AllocHGlobal(256);
     IntPtr hXcv = IntPtr.Zero;
     const  uint SERVER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER   = 0x00000001;

     PRINTER_DEFAULTS Defaults = new PRINTER_DEFAULTS();
     Defaults.pDatatype = 0 ;
     Defaults.pDevMode = 0;
     Defaults.DesiredAccess = SERVER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER;
     string szIPAddress="";
     string xcvName = String.Format(",XcvPort {0}", portName);

     // Handle to a local machine
     if (OpenPrinter(xcvName,out hXcv, ref Defaults ))
     {
        uint cbOutputNeeded;
        uint dwStatus;
        // hXvc contains an Xcv data handle to a local TCPMON port

           szIPAddress= Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(buf);
