LISTPRINTERS
— List
available printers.
Syntax:
LISTPRINTERS
/I /L /N /V
name…
/I | list local IP printers only |
/L | list locally-controlled printers |
/N | list network printers |
/V | verbose |
name… | may contain wildcards |
If none of /I
/L
or /N
is
specified, both local and network printers will be listed.
You may specify one or more name parameters
containing wildcards (inclusion masks), e.g. *LASER*
to
list all ports whose names contain the string “Laser”. Any
printer whose name matches any of the inclusion masks will be included in
the list. You can also specify wildcarded names to exclude; precede these
with an exclamation point, e.g. !*DESK*
to exclude
all printers whose names contain “Desk”. Exclusion masks
override inclusion masks. Any printer whose name matches any exclusion
mask will not be shown, even if it matches one or more inclusion masks.
If /V
is specified, the list of printers will also include
the port name, server name, or IP address for each printer. This field
will be truncated to 25 characters.
If you do not specify any name parameters,
LISTPRINTERS
will list all printers available on the local
machine.
