/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.

/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: Use to store 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: Use to store the directory service information contained in the PRINTER_INFO_7 structure. c: Use to store the color profile information for a printer. d: Use to store printer specific data such as the printer’s hardware ID. s: Use to store the printer’s security descriptor. g: Use to store the information in the printer’s global DEVMODE structure. m: Use to store the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g. u: Use to store 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: Use to restore 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: Use to restore the directory service information contained in the PRINTER_INFO_7 structure. c: Use to restore the color profile information for a printer. d: Use to restore printer specific data, such as the printer’s hardware ID. s: Use to restore the printer’s security descriptor. g: Use to restore the information in the printer’s global DEVMODE structure. m: Use to restore the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g. u Use to restore the information in the printer’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.
/y	Sets the printer being installed as the default printer.
/?	Displays the in-product Help for the command and its associated parameters.
