Need to remove old network printers/copiers from all user's machines.  I have a Powershell script that remove all the specific printers/copiers as we don't want to remove all networked printers such as locally shared printers (we are in a virtual environment and share the locally connected printers over the network to the virtual machine).  Now I know that I can just put the script in a logon script and deploy it through GP but we need to run this today without interrupting the users by a logon/off of the computers.  Is there another way to deploy the Powershell script remotely?  Or perhaps there is another solution to remove the select printers through Group Policy?  We have already tried deleting the printers through Group Policy via the route of User Config > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Printers.  But that only removes the network printers/copiers that were installed by Group Policy....not those network printers/copiers manually installed through control panel, which we also need removed.

Removing Network Printers

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
