Parameters
There are two types of parameters: base parameters and modification parameters. Base parameters specify the function that the command is to perform. Only one of these parameters can appear in a given command line. Then, you can modify the base parameter by using one or more of the modification parameters if they are applicable to the base parameter (not all modification parameters are supported by all base parameters).
Base Parameters
Description
/dl
Deletes the local printer.
/dn
Deletes a network printer connection.
/dd
Deletes a printer driver.
/e
Displays the printing preferences for a given printer.
/ga
adds a per computer printer connection (the connection is available to any user on that computer when they log on).
/ge
Displays per computer printer connections on a computer.
/gd
Deletes a per computer printer connection (the connection is deleted the next time a user logs on).
/ia
Installs a printer driver by using an .inf file.
/id
Installs a printer driver by using the add printer Driver Wizard.
/if
Installs a printer by using an .inf file.
/ii
Installs a printer by using the add printer wizard with an .inf file.
/il
Installs a printer by using the add printer wizard.
/in
Connects to a remote network printer.
/ip
Installs a printer by using the Network printer Installation Wizard (available from the user interface from print Management).
/k
prints a test page on a printer.
/o
Displays the queue for a printer.
/p
Displays the properties of a printer. When you use this parameter, you must also specify a value for the modification parameter /n[name].
/s
Displays the properties of a print server. If you want to view the local print server, you do not need to use a modification parameter. However, if you want to view a remote print server, you must specify the /c[name] modification parameter.
/Ss
Specifies what type of information for a printer will be stored. If none of the values for /Ss are specified, the default behavior is as if all of them were specified. Use this base parameter with the following values placed at the end of the command line:2: Stores the information contained in the printer s printER_INFO_2 structure. This structure contains the basic information about the printer such as its name, server name, port name, and share name.7: Used to store the directory service information contained in the printER_INFO_7 structure.c: Stores the color profile information for a printer.d: Stores printer specific data such as the printer s hardware ID.s: Stores the printer s security descriptor.g: Stores the information in the printer s global DEVmode structure.m: Stores the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2 d, and g.u: Stores the information in the printer s per user DEVmode structure.
/Sr
Specifies what information about a printer is restored and how conflicts in settings are handled. Use with the following values placed at the end of the command line:2: Restores the information contained in the printer s printER_INFO_2 structure. This structure contains the basic information about the printer such as its name, server name, port name, and share name.7: Restores the directory service information contained in the printER_INFO_7 structure.c: Restores the color profile information for a printer.d: Restores printer specific data, such as the printer s hardware ID.s: Restores the printer s security descriptor.g: Restores the information in the printer s global DEVmode structure.m: Restores the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g.u Restores the information in the printe s per user DEVmode structure.r: If the printer name stored in the file is different from the name of the printer being restored to, then use the current printer name. This cannot be specified with f. If neither r nor f is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails.f: If the printer name stored in the file is different from the name of the printer being restored to, then use the printer name in the file. This cannot be specified with r. If neither f nor r is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails.p: If the port name in the file being restored from does not match the current port name of the printer being restored to, the printer s current port name is used.h: If the printer being restored to could not be shared using the resource share name in the saved settings file, then attempt to share the printer with either the current share name or a new generated share name if neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails.h: If the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then do not share the printer. If neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails.i: If the driver in the saved settings file does not match the driver for the printer being restored to, then the restoration fails.
/Xg
Retrieves the settings for a printer.
/Xs
Sets the settings for a printer.
