These are only present on XP Pro, my XP Home system doesn't have these
... and 
FWIW on my XP Pro test system they're not in %systemroot%, they're in 
%systemroot%\System32\.

How about that! Very useful. Now that I think of it, I may have dimly 
heard of that, before 

Thanks!

Win2k3 and XP have a couple of pr*.vbs files in %systemroot% that will
help with this. Prnmngr.vbs will let you list installed printers and it
will give you driver name and port name. There is a prnport.vbs that
will give you all the details on the ports as well.

I'm migrating a print server from Win2000 to Win2003. I'm not using the
Print Migrator tool, because some of the installed drivers are old. So
I'm just going to re-create the printer definitions (taking the
opportunity to properly name them, according to our now-standard
conventions). Anyway, what I could use is a report, listing current
printer name, printer model (or driver, which should tell me the same
thing), and IP address. That at least would help me in installing new
printers and drivers on my Win2003 server. 

Anyone know of something that dumps those sorts of details about
installed printers? 

Thanks
