I'm trying to store the current default printer in a variable in Powershell to add this name back using a different print server. The command I'm using to store this name is:
$default_printer = Get-WMIObject -Query " SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE Default=$true" | where$_.Name -like "*\*" | select sharename
Which will provide me with:
sharename
---------
WI_IT-Test
Issue arises when I try and setup the new printer with the command:
Add-Printer -ConnectionName \printsrv01$default_printer
I believe when I'm setting the variable in the beginning it's also storing the string " sharename --------- " as well as the name of the Printer.
How do I only grab the printer name and not the...
sharename
---------
Any help would be appreciated!

I think you are wanting to use the-ExpandPropertyparameter when selecting. This selects the value only and not the key/value object. i.e.... | select -ExpandProperty sharename.

Select-Object will create a PSCustomObject of key/values. I'd recommend two options:
- Use
ExpandPropertyto return only the value ofsharename. i.e.... | select -expandproperty sharename. - the
sharenameproperty. i.e.Add-Printer -ConnectionName "\printsrv01$($default_printer.sharename)"
In your case you're wanting a single property so the first option is good. If you are selecting multiple properties the latter is the way to go.

Thank you. The "\printsrv01$($default_printer.sharename)" minus the quotes was the trick in this case. :) Thanks again!
