Syntax

Net print {\\<ComputerName>\<ShareName> |
\\<ComputerName> <JobNumber> [/hold | /release | /delete]} [help]

Parameters

Parameters	Description
\\<ComputerName>\<ShareName>	Specifies (by name) the computer and print queue about which you want to display information.
\\<ComputerName>	Specifies (by name) the computer that hosts the print job you want to control. If you do not specify a computer, the local computer is assumed. Requires the <JobNumber> parameter.
<JobNumber>	Specifies the number of the print job you want to control. This number is assigned by the computer that hosts the print queue where the print job is sent. After a computer assigns a number to a print job, that number is not assigned to any other print jobs in any queue hosted by that computer. Required when using the \\<ComputerName> parameter.
[/hold \| /release \| /delete]	Specifies the action to take with the print job. The /hold parameter delays the job, allowing other print jobs to bypass it until it is released. The /release parameter releases a print job that has been delayed. The /delete parameter removes a print job from a print queue. If you specify a job number, but do not specify any action, information about the print job is displayed.
help	Displays help for the Net print command.

Remarks

Net print \\<ComputerName> displays information about print jobs in a shared printer queue. The following is an example of a report for all print jobs in a queue for a shared printer named LASER:
