I am trying to use Get-PrintConfiguration on a networked printer but for some reason it returns this error
Get-PrintConfiguration : The specified printer was not found. At
line:1 char:1
+ Get-PrintConfiguration -PrinterName "Printer1"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (MSFT_PrinterConfiguration:ROOT/StandardCi...erConfiguration) [Get-PrintConfiguration], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070709,Get-PrintConfiguration
Is there something I am missing? The Printer name is correct and im somewhat confident the syntax is correct.
Edit: I just noticed the second line. If you're specifying a printer name by concatenating multiple strings, be sure to surround the concatenations with parenthese. Example:
Get-PrinterConfiguration -PrinterName ("Printer1" + "-PC1")
Hope some of this helps.
Original: Only posting this as an answer since I don't have enough reputation to make a comment, but in order to get a proper answer, could you provide more details, please? Perhaps a code/script example?
This worked for me to get a network printer configuration
Get-Printer | Where-Object -Property 'Name' -EQ 'Sharp MX-4140N' | Get-PrintConfiguration
PrinterName ComputerName Collate Color DuplexingMode
----------- ------------ ------- ----- -------------
Sharp MX-4140N True True OneSided
Note: computer name blanked intentionally.
