Use this script

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections

For i = 0 to oPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
WScript.Echo "Port " & oPrinters.Item(i) & " = " & oPrinters.Item(i+1)

Save to a text file e.g. ptrt.vbs then run

cscript prt.vbs >ptr.txt

Great thanks mate.

Only if you map to an LPT port will it work. Net use will display mappings, and as most printers these days are not mapped...they are via IP / unc

PSTools might do it though: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...s/PsTools.mspx

Yes.

And that would be how?
