Hello there,
is it possible to read out the current installed printer and then we do a machine swap and reinstall the printers?
they are network printers…
thanks in advance

install-printer
Example 1: Get a list of printers
This command retrieves a list of printers and printer connections on the local computer
PS C:> Get-Printer
I normally output this to server share with pc hostname:
$H = hostname
Get-Printer > “\servername\share$H printers.txt”
Drivers are the main issue. Add-Printer cmdlet can only use printers already installed in Windows
There is nice write-up from the Scripting Guy: install-printer-drivers-with-powershell-in-windows-8
Or you could export-windowsdriver or pnputil and just transfer all the drivers to the new machine.
