NET PRINT

The NET PRINT command is used to manage Network Print jobs. This command was deprecated in Windows 7 and removed completely in Windows 10. However, you can perform many of the same tasks using Windows PowerShell cmdlets, VB Script, Prnjobs.vbs or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)

Display the job# of current print jobs:

NET PRINT \\ComputerName\ShareName

Hold a print job waiting in the printer queue:

NET PRINT [\\ComputerName] job# /HOLD

Release a print job that has been held:

NET PRINT [\\ComputerName] job# /RELEASE

Delete a print job from a printer queue:

NET PRINT [\\ComputerName] job# /DELETE

List all available printers:

NET VIEW \\MyServer |find "Print"
