How to get ip adress of any queue name

[Azuri]

No I want to try something really simple. Say when u type ping printQueue name it gives me ip address. I want to do something similar in the mac app I am getting. I allow IP printing in my app. For that user enters IP adress. But what when user enter printqueue name? I want to convert that to IP adress so I can execute the same code after that,
