Depending on what platfome your are writting, some thing like this would do it.

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections

For i = 0 to oPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
   WScript.Echo "Port " & oPrinters.Item(i) & " = " & oPrinters.Item(i+1)
Next

Or this

BOOL EnumPrinters( 
  DWORD Flags,         // printer object types 
  LPTSTR Name,         // name of printer object 
  DWORD Level,         // information level 
  LPBYTE pPrinterEnum, // printer information buffer 
  DWORD cbBuf,         // size of printer information buffer 
  LPDWORD pcbNeeded,   // bytes received or required 
  LPDWORD pcReturned   // number of printers enumerated 
);
