Powershell script to list printers with WPK

[fawkers]

Hi There

I've been trying to get this powershell script to work it should produce a windows with a list of printers, It's using the powershell plus kit from the MSDN site (also in the win 7 resource kit).

$DetectedErrorState="unknown","other","No Error","Low Paper","No Paper",`
"Low Toner","No Toner","Door OPen","Jammed","Offline","Service Requested",`
"output Bin Full"

$PrinterStatus="Other","Unknown","Idle","Printing","Warming Up","Stopped Printing","Offiline"

#function test{
#    $class = "win32_printer"
#    $printers = Get-WmiObject -Class $Class -ComputerName "<COMPUTERNAME>" -Credential <DOMAIN>\<USERNAME>
#    foreach($p in $printers){
#        output $p.Name, $DetectedErrorState[$p.DetectedErrorState], $PrinterStatus[$p.PrinterStatus]
#    }
#}


New-ListView -Width 350 -Height 350 -DataBinding @{
    ItemsSource = New-Binding -IsAsync -UpdateSourceTrigger PropertyChanged -Path Output
} -View {
    New-GridView -AllowsColumnReorder -Columns {
        New-GridViewColumn "Name" 
        }
} -DataContext {
    Get-PowerShellDataSource -Script {
        #Get-Process | ForEach-Object { $_ ; Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25 }
        Get-WmiObject -Class $Class -ComputerName "<COMPUTERNAME" -Credential <DOMAIN>\<USERNAME> |`
        ForEach-Object {
            $_.Name
        }
    }
} -On_Loaded {
    Register-PowerShellCommand -Run -In "0:0:15" -ScriptBlock {
        $window.Content.DataContext.Script = $window.Content.DataContext.Script
    }
} -asjob

If you look in the -DataContext section the commented out line will work, but the four lines below it don't. Can anyone see whats going wrong?

Thanks

Hello Everyone

Got this from technet

New-ListView -Width 350 -Height 350 -DataBinding @{
    ItemsSource = New-Binding -IsAsync -UpdateSourceTrigger PropertyChanged -Path Output
} -View {
    New-GridView -AllowsColumnReorder -Columns {
        New-GridViewColumn "Name" 
        New-GridViewColumn "PrinterStatus"
        }
} -DataContext {
    Get-PowerShellDataSource -Script {
 $list = @()
 $PrinterStatus="Other","Unknown","Idle","Printing","Warming Up","Stopped Printing","Offiline"
 

 Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer | 
 ForEach-Object {
 $list += New-Object Object | Add-Member NoteProperty Name $_.name -passthru | Add-member NoteProperty PrinterStatus $PrinterStatus[$_.PrinterStatus-1] -passthru
 }
 foreach ($item in $list)
 { 
 $item
 }


    }
} -On_Loaded {
    Register-PowerShellCommand -Run -In "0:0:15" -ScriptBlock {
        $window.Content.DataContext.Script = $window.Content.DataContext.Script
    }
} -asjob

which works however if you cange the -script block to

    Get-PowerShellDataSource -Script {
 $list = @()
 $PrinterStatus="Other","Unknown","Idle","Printing","Warming Up","Stopped Printing","Offiline"
 
 $password = (Read-Host -AsSecureString)
 $user = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential ("olympus\ap.admin", $password)
 
 Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -computername "shsg-d02-prt01" -Credential $User | 
 ForEach-Object {
 $list += New-Object Object | Add-Member NoteProperty Name $_.name -passthru | Add-member NoteProperty PrinterStatus $PrinterStatus[$_.PrinterStatus-1] -passthru
 }
 foreach ($item in $list)
 { 
 $item
 }


    }

to allow for a remote computer it doesn't work any more... if anyone has any ideas...


Thanks
