Delete IP Printer & Port via WMI

[sn0rg]

Anyone know how to do this? I can't see a method to delete printers in WMI, and I have to delete local devices (Attached via Standard TCP/IP port), and then the port.

Oddly, I'm unable to make this code work. I get:
object does not support this property or method: 'objPort.delete'

Can anyone tell me why, or offer an alternative way to delete an IP Port?

Sample Microsoft code:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colInstalledPorts =  objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort Where Name = 'IP_169.254.110.14'")

For Each objPort in colInstalledPorts 
    objPort.Delete
Next
