To display jobs on a specific printer, you need to specify its name:Ĭscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnjobs.vbs” –l –p HP5525 To display all print jobs for all local printers, run the command:Ĭscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnjobs.vbs” –l
Using the prnjobs.vbs script, you can view print jobs in queues. To print a test page on the printer you have created, do the following:Ĭscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnqctl.vbs” -e -p "HP5525" Manage Print Queues from the Command Prompt n 9100 – the number of the TCP port of the device (usually 9100).Īnd then you can install a new network printer on the system:Ĭscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs" -a -p "HP5525" -m "HP Universal Printing PCL 6" -r " IP_192.168.1.22"Īfter the script is over, a new printer HP5525 appears in the system. r IP_192.168.1.22 – a name of the network port If you want to connect a network printer, you must first create a TCP/IP printer port for it (suppose the printer IP address is 192.168.1.22):Ĭscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prnport.vbs" -a -r IP_192.168.1.22 -h 192.168.1.22 -o raw -n 9100
To set a different default printer, run the command:Ĭscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs" -t –p "HP5525" How to Create a TCP/IP Port for a Network Printer?
