Printer exploration with PowerShell

Following are a few printing related PowerShell one-liners that I demonstrated for a few colleagues at work. -Enjoy!

# List all printer drivers on a specific server           
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PrinterDriver -ComputerName PrintServer `
 | Sort-Object Name `
 | Select-Object Name, DriverPath            
          
# List all properties of a specifc printer driver on a server           
Get-WmiObject Win32_PrinterDriver -ComputerName PrintServer -Filter "Name='Lexmark Universal XL,3,Windows x64'"           
          
# List Printers for a specific server           
Get-WmiObject Win32_Printer -ComputerName PrintServer `
 | Sort-Object Name `
 | Select-Object Name, DriverName, PortName, ShareName           
          
# List a specific printer on a server           
Get-WmiObject Win32_Printer -ComputerName PrintServer -Filter "Name='P-UHC6000M-IRC2550'"            
          
# List info on print jobs           
Get-WmiObject Win32_PrintJob -ComputerName PrintServer `
 | Select-Object Document, Owner,           
  @{Label="Status";Expression={$_.JobStatus}},            
  @{Label="PageCount";Expression={$_.TotalPages}},            
  @{Label="DateSubmitted";Expression={[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeconverter]::ToDateTime($_.TimeSubmitted)}}            
             
# List current number of jobs in each print queue           
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PerfFormattedData_Spooler_PrintQueue -Computer PrintServer -Filter "Name <> '_Total' and Jobs > 0" `
 | Sort Jobs -Descending `
 | Select name, jobs `
 | Format-Table -AutoSize
