DELIPPORT — Delete TCP/IP printing ports from the local machine.

Syntax:
DELIPPORT ​/N ​/Y name…

/Nnot really; don’t actually delete ports
/Yanswer yes to all prompts
namethe name of the port to delete

This command only deletes IP printing ports on the local machine. It will not delete other kinds of ports. You cannot delete any port which a printer is currently attached to.

You must provide at least one name. Quote any name which contains spaces or other special characters.

You may specify one or more name parameters containing wildcards (inclusion masks), e.g. *.45$ to include ports whose names end in “.45$”. Any port whose name matches any of the inclusion masks will be deleted. You can also specify wildcarded names to exclude; precede these with an exclamation point, e.g. !*LASER* to exclude all ports whose names contain the string “Laser”. Exclusion masks override inclusion masks. Any port whose name matches any exclusion mask will not be deleted, even if it matches one or more inclusion masks.

If a port name matches a wildcard mask, DELIPPORT will prompt before deleting it. Use /Y to suppress the prompt. If the port name is an exact match — character-for-character, not just a wildcard match — you will not be prompted.
