Hi,  
I am New in PowerShell, and i am trying to get this working, from a machine i would like to print the same file on multiple printer,  
so i used this Command to send the print to only a printer, and its works  
lpr -S Printeripadress -P raw filetoprint.txt  
i would like to create a text file with the ip of all the printer that i have,  
and send the print to this printer list. one after the other.  
Please Help 🙂

foreach ($name in (Get-Content names.txt)) { assumes names.txt is one name per line  
lot -S $name -P raw filetoprint.txt  
}

Or something like that, I would imagine.
