Printer Management using prnadmin.dll from Windows 2003 Tool Kit

Hey, could some please help me to be able to iterate through the ports on the
server. I am currently able to print test pages, add ports, delete printers
etc, but i cannot get a handle to a existing port, or iterate through a list
of ports.

im using C# and here is my code to get a handle to a port (i have registered
and added the dll to my project)

try
{
PrintMasterClass oPrinterMaster = new PrintMasterClass();
PortClass oPort = new PortClass();
//This port is a local port pointed to a network printer
oPrinterMaster.PortGet("","\\\\SERVER\\PRINTER",oP ort);
return true;
}
catch (Exception err)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(err.Message.T oString());
return false;
}
any ideas?
