List Windows Printers from PowerShell Command Line CLI

If you need to remote into a Windows machine and get a list of printers without interrupting the user, this powershell command is quick and easy...

Get-Printer | Format-Table

I used this for polling printers on specific print server for printers like:

#Printer - Get devices like

$remoteComputer = "PrintServer01"
# Get printer information
$printers = $printers = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Printer -ComputerName $remoteComputer |
Where-Object { $_.Name -match '^SITE[-_]' }

foreach ($printer in $printers) {
    $port = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort -ComputerName $remoteComputer |
        Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $printer.PortName }

    [PSCustomObject]@{
        Name       = $printer.Name
        IPAddress  = $port.HostAddress
        #Model      = $printer.DriverName
        #PrintServer= $printer.ServerName
    }
}
