How to add a printer port on Windows 2000 via script

[ProblemChild]

We are aware that you can add a tcp/ip printer port via
prnport.vbs on Windows XP and Windows 2003 machines.
However, we need to script this for Windows 2000
Professional Workstations.

Found some references to look in the 2000 Resources Kit
but could not find it in there.

Could anyone post wehre I could download this script OR
sample script for me to use please?

Thanks a lot.....!!!!

Here is a sample vbs script I keep on hand, just change the IP address as
needed:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Set objNewPort = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").SpawnInstance_
objNewPort.Name = "IP_157.57.80.15"
objNewPort.Protocol = 1
objNewPort.HostAddress = "157.57.80.15"
objNewPort.PortNumber = "9100"
objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False
objNewPort.Put_
