将Powershell Out-Printer用于文件时控制输出位置

Question

I have a Powershell script that retrieves all image files (.jpg, .png) from a folder on a server and "prints" them to a file, specifically a .prn file using a specific print driver. All of that works fine. The issue is that I can't work out how to control where the output of "printing" goes, ie where it puts the resulting .prn file. They always go to the Pictures folder on my PC. I''d like for them to be placed into the same server folder from which the input images came from. Over that last week I've search every combination of Powershell out-print, out-file etc that I can think to try but no luck finding a solution so far. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my current script.

       $VerbosePreference = "Continue"
       add-type -AssemblyName microsoft.VisualBasic
       add-type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
       $newext = ".prn"
       $Directory = "\\192.168.30.46\resource\Item\"
       $files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Directory –File
       $focus = 2000
       for ($i=0; $i -lt 5; $i++) {
       $newfile = $files[$i].BaseName + $newext     
           Start-Process $files[$i].FullName -verb Print | out-printer -name "Page Segment Print File"  
           start-sleep -Milliseconds $focus
           [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{ENTER}")
           start-sleep -Milliseconds 250
           [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait($newfile)
           start-sleep -Milliseconds 250
           [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{ENTER}")
           start-sleep -Milliseconds 1500
           $focus = 250
       }
       Write-Verbose "Print Files Generated"

Answer 1

Create a defined root location and concatenate so the output location is fully defined.

$VerbosePreference = "Continue"
   add-type -AssemblyName microsoft.VisualBasic
   add-type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
   $rootdir = "C:\Temp\"
   $newext = ".prn"
   $Directory = "\\192.168.30.46\resource\Item\"
   $files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Directory –File
   $focus = 2000

   for ($i=0; $i -lt 5; $i++) {
   $newfile = $files[$i].BaseName + $newext     
       Start-Process $files[$i].FullName -verb Print | out-printer -name "Page Segment Print File"  
       start-sleep -Milliseconds $focus
   [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{ENTER}")
   start-sleep -Milliseconds 250
   [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait($(Join-Path $rootdir $newfile))
   start-sleep -Milliseconds 250
   [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{ENTER}")
   start-sleep -Milliseconds 1500
   $focus = 250
}
Write-Verbose "Print Files Generated"`
