How to get printer information using command line on Windows machine?

I need to get Windows XP printer information like printer port and driver name using command line.

I tried using Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools that give you such information but it needs administrative privileges. In our production scenario to开发者_如何学Pythono we cannot rely on some external toolkits to be deployed just to get the printer info.

Any ideas on this?

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colInstalledPrinters =  objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_PrinterConfiguration")
For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
    Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objPrinter.Name
    Wscript.Echo "Driver Version: " & objPrinter.DriverVersion
Next

You could use WMI via a VB script to actually get the information, and then print it to the console. Running your VB script in cscript.exe rather than wscript.exe would run it in a console window.

The ScriptingGuy article explains it a bit, but there is plenty more info about WMI available

You can also simply go to C:\Windows\System32 and then run:

cscript prnmngr.vbs

From the command line... seems to give you all of the info you need
