How to Configure SNMP Traps. Open Control Panel. In Windows XP, go to Performance and Maintenance, while the other versions of Windows, System and Maintenance link. Open Administrative Tools. Run Services applet. Locate and right click on SNMP Service, then select Properties. Go to Traps tab. In SNMP Service Properties window, click on Traps tab. If removing SNMP is not an option for your network, it is strongly recommended that you get updated SNMP software from all vendors (all SNMP software should have release dates after February 2002), and get rid of the 'Public' Community String. To remove SNMP from your Win2K server: 1.) Click on 'Start' - 'Settings' - 'Control Panel'.

On Windows 7 / 8[.1], you can configure printer and port information via the command line as the administrator, for example:

Snmp Agent Windows 7

will list the printers attached to computer-01, using my logged-in credentials. This produces many lines of output, including the printer port. My goal is to find the Printer Port, assuming it's a TCP/IP port, then run the prnport command to disable SNMP Status on that port. Below is a sample output of two different printers, on being USB, the other being a TCP/IP printer:

(Note: this is not an X-Y problem, the issue is known to the manufacturer and disabling SNMP is the known solution.)

How can I find the Port Name that happens to be a TCP/IP port, and put it to a variable that I can run against the prnport command?

One problem you'll have is that the port name is free text: it can be just about anything; it is not guaranteed to be the IP address. Unless you're sure that the people setting up the printers explicitly set the names to start with IP_, that is not guaranteed.

I would recommend using PowerShell if you are able; the Get-PrinterPort and Set-PrinterProperty or maybe Set-PrintConfiguration cmdlets (Win10 docs, Win8 docs, Win8.1 docs) look very useful. Unfortunately, they're only available on Windows 8 or Server 2012 and newer. I only have access to Windows 7 at the moment and am unable to test them.

Failing that, you can use prnport directly rather than going through prnmngr first. prnport -l will 'list all TCP ports'. If you use this in conjunction with a script similar to David's, you'll end up with the correct results:

NB: You may need to substitute prnport invocations with cscript %windir%System32Printing_Admin_Scriptsen-USprnport.vbs depending on your setup. Also, the region en-US can change.

Brief explanation:

Snmp
  • This is an expanded for loop. See for /? for details.
  • We're looping through allPort name foo lines in the output and taking foo from them.
  • By specifying tokens=1,2,*, we tokenise the result string by spaces and set %%a to Port, %%b to name and %%c to everything after (that's what the asterisk means).

You'll probably want to pass the computer name in as another variable.

Also note that this does not handle cases where no TCP/IP printers exist. I assume they'll just do nothing since the loop body should never execute.

Another option is to use WMI directly, which is what the printer management scripts do under the hood.
