PowerShell Query and delete Print task action Code instance _powershell

Applies to Windows 8.1 or server R2

Windows 8.1 and Server R2 have a PowerShell component: "Printmanagement", which contains all the commands for managing both native and remote printers.

In the previous tip, we demonstrated how to read a printer task. Each print task has a property jobstatus that indicates whether the task was printed successfully.

All States can be obtained in this way:

Copy Code code as follows:

Ps> Import-module printmanagement

ps> [Microsoft.powershell.cmdletization.generatedtypes.printjob.jobstatus]::getnames ([ Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.PrintJob.JobStatus])
Normal

The next step is to filter the existing tasks. For example, do you want to list whether the print task has completed, or has encountered a failure:

Copy Code code as follows:

$ComputerName = $env: ComputerName

Get-printer-computername $ComputerName | Foreach-object {
Get-printjob-printername $_. Name-computername $ComputerName |
Where-object {$_. Jobstatus-eq ' Complete '-or $_. Jobstatus-eq ' Error '-or $_. Jobstatus-eq ' printed '}
}

Deleting a print task is also very simple, remove-printjob:

Copy Code code as follows:

$ComputerName = $env: ComputerName

Get-printer-computername $ComputerName | Foreach-object {
Get-printjob-printername $_. Name-computername $ComputerName |
Where-object {$_. Jobstatus-eq ' Complete '-or $_. Jobstatus-eq ' Error '-or $_. Jobstatus-eq ' printed '}
} |
Remove-printjob-cimsession $ComputerName
