WMIC syntax to delete a printer Not Like

Question

I need a wmic script to delete all printers where the DeviceID Not Like '%%KM%%'

The following syntax works to delete where like

printer where "DeviceID LIKE '%%KM%%'" delete

when I change to

printer where "DeviceID NOT LIKE '%%KM%%'" delete

I get ERROR:

Description = Invalid query

How should I make this change?
