how to get printers list
Hello guys and gals.
I am trying to show printers list on a computer.
I am able to accomplish the action with a custom inventory rule and I added below;
ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell Get-WMIObject Win32_Printer -recurse | Select-Object systemname, Name, PortName, drivername )
above works and shows the list of printers.
the problem is it trims the output and looks like below
systemname Name PortName drivername

Try piping"| Format-Table -AutoSize" to the command. If that does not work, maybe "| Format-Table -Wrap".

Your subject line should read "Powershell script truncates printer list under Windows 7"
Also...Windows SEVEN?!? In 2020?!? W.O.W.
