SYNTAX
Get-PrintConfiguration [-PrinterName] <String> [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ComputerName <String>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-PrintConfiguration [-PrinterObject] <CimInstance> [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-PrintConfiguration cmdlet gets the configuration information about the specified printer. Using Get-PrintConfiguration cmdlet, you can manage
the configuration of the following features:

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PrinterName <String>
Specifies the name of the printer from which to retrieve the configuration information.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PrinterObject <CimInstance>
Specifies the object which contains the printer from which to retrieve configuration information.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is
entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

INPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_Printer
This cmdlet accepts one printer object.
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#MSFT_PrinterConfiguration
This cmdlet returns a printer configuration object.
Example 1: Get the printer configuration
PS C:\\> Get-PrintConfiguration ????????PrinterName "Microsoft XPS Document Writer"
