删除名称中包含“ EXAMPLE”的打印机

Question

I am trying to build a PS script, to deletes all networkprinters which contain "EXAMPLE" in their name.

So far I have the following code:

Get–WMIObject Win32_Printer | where{$_.Network -eq ‘true‘} | foreach{$_.delete()}

But this deletes every networkprinter.

Answer 1

Since you are using Windows 7, you can still utilize WMI to delete the printers. Otherwise the other alternatives are using methods from the .Net classes System.Printing or System.Drawing.Printing . But it looks like you just need to and another filter in your where block

Get–WMIObject Win32_Printer | where{($_.Network -eq 'true') -and ($_.Name -like "*EXAMPLE*") } | foreach{$_.delete()}

Answer 2

# First check with -WhatIf, then remove -WhatIf when you are sure the command is targetting the right printer
Get-Printer | ?{ $_.Name.Contains("EXAMPLE") -and $_.Type -eq "Connection" } | Remove-Printer -Whatif
