Automatic Windows printer creation?

[GMane Python]

Anyone know if there's a module which will allow me to 'create' windows
printer definitions? Not from a Windows domain network, but just to add a
printer that sends to a jet-direct-attached printer.

Thanks!

You can probably do it through WMI. (class is Win32_Printer)
WMI works well with win32com, and there's also a wrapper module

for simplified access.
I imagine getting all the device parameters and port
configuration right will be messy, though.

The easiest way by far is to use the Windows Script Host objects
from winall. WSH makes creating windows resources like printers
etc fairly easy.
