Hello
Does anyone know how I can add and delete a local printer via the command line. I'm installing an application via a WinInstall package and this application requires that a particular local printer be present first. I need to be able to this to a very large group of people. So I thought of creating a batch file to run along with my distribution package

Thanx!
 
XP Pro ships with several scripts that interface with WMI to enumerate , add
and delete printers.
in system32
prnmngr.vbs to list, add, delete printers
prnport.vbs to list, add, delete TCP ports
prmdrvr.vbs to list, add, delete drivers.

there are a couple other for queue and job controls
