Managing printing from the command line

You can manage your printers at the command line by using:

  • Print to print a text file or to display the contents of a print queue.

  • Net print to display or control print jobs and printer queues.

  • Net start spooler to start the Spooler service.

  • Lpr to print a file to a computer running an LPD server.

  • Lpq to obtain status of a print queue on a computer running the LPD server.

You can obtain additional functionality through scripts by using:

  • Prncnfg.vbs to get and set printer configurations, or to rename a printer.

  • Prndrvr.vbs to add, delete, and list printer drivers.

  • Prnjobs.vbs to pause, resume, cancel, and list print jobs.

  • Prnqctl.vbs to print a test page, pause or resume a printer, and clear a printer queue.

  • Prnmngr.vbs to add, delete, and list printer connections. Prnmngr.vbs can also be used for obtaining and setting the default printer.

  • Prnport.vbs to add, delete, and list standard TCP/IP ports. Prnport.vbs can also be used to obtain and set the port configuration.
