Connect Network Printer via WMI

OtherPowerShell
Written By Paul Fulbright

Very simple example, this can be run from any powershell ci:

([wmiclass]"Win32_Printer").AddPrinterConnection("\\\")

ex: <server> = printsrv01, <port> = R1414

The specific path should be fairly obvious if you browse to the printer server hosting the printer in question, it should show up as a device and you can just concatenate that onto the end and pipe it to WMI, simple.
