Hide window while running Runwit

[SOF-TECH]

Any body can help how to hide the cmd window with this syntax:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c wmic printer get name,PortName,DriverName | sort >>  ' &$MyVariable)

where to insert SW_HIDE?? I tried all options 

Thank you

The help file shows very clearly where you would put that, third parameter:

RunWait(<program>, <working dir>, <show_flag>, <opt_flag>)

I would query wmi in your script. I used the ScriptoMatic.au3 that comes as an installed example for the following. You  just query and loop through your results.
