I am trying to find a way to

1 - add a "local port" with a name like "c:/temp/abc.ps"
2 - assign a printer to this newly created port
3 - remove the "local port" created above
[download]

So far I cannot find a way to add a "local port". I can add a tcp port using prnport command in system32 but it will now allow me to add a local port. I can also assign a printer to a port as follows:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cscript prncnfg.vbs -t -p "HP 2500C Series PS3" -r
+ "c:/temp/abc.ps"
[download]

So I just have to figure out a way to script adding a local port. Any suggestions?
