pelegk2, you can first try this

' Enumerate Printer Connections

' Description
' Enumerates all the printer connections on a computer.
' Requires Windows XP or Windows .NET Server.

' Script Code

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Printer")
For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objPrinter.Name
Wscript.Echo "Location: " & objPrinter.Location
Wscript.Echo "Default: " & objPrinter.Default
Next
' end of code

' The System Administration Scripting Guide, part of
' the Windows .NET Server Resource Kit. For more information,
' contact scripter@microsoft.com.

I don't know if the print box can be bypassed with a script.

Regards

To print to a printer that has a associated old fashioned local LPT port, you could just probably redirect them (using the > symbol) to the desired port. I'm not sure if it will worked with UNC path name, you could give it a try and see if it works.

If you could post whatever you have coded so far, others might be able to help you more.
