Powershell / Quest Commandlets Script to get all printers in the domain

Give the following command a try, though it is listed as being a command for Server 2012 and Windows 8.

Get-Printer -ComputerName SERVERNAME | ? published

Select allOpen in new window

Ok - thanks will test in a few....

Getting Error:  Get-WmiObject : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'ComputerName'. The argument is null or empty. Supply an argument that is not null or empty an
d then try the command again.

+ Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -ComputerName <<<<  $Printer.Server | Select SystemName, ShareName, Name, Location | Export-csv "c:\exportedPri
nters.csv" }

That error above is due to the CSV file it is reading. Make sure that it has the appropriate name structure.

You can test this with one individual computer name see below...

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -ComputerName <namehere> | Select SystemName, ShareName, Name, Location | Export-csv "c:\exportedPrinter.csv

Will.

I have tested with single name with above script worked....but something wrong with this:

 -ComputerName $Printer.Server

You need to make sure that your CSV file is constructed like I have illustrated above. In column A you need Server as the heading and all of the server names below. I have tested this in my environment and it works.

Yes - that's was the problem.  Did not put server in the heading.  Many thanks!
