Vista - Removing Printers

I am trying to find info on writing a script that can automate the removal of
the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer". I couldn't find a powershell command to
do it or WMI Class that could help me. Win32_printer seems to have a method
to add printers but not remove.

Can anyone give me a few pointers?

On XP SP2, I looked for the Delete_ method, but can't find it. I also
tried via wmic (in case PowerShell had a problem with the "_" somehow in
a method name).

What operating system(s)?

I think this can be done by casting the Win32_Printer instance to
System.Management.ManagementObject and then use it's Delete() method.

[System.Management.ManagementObject]$printer.Delete()

I'm a bit late, but I just had to remove some printers myself.
The WMI object returned by Get-WMIObject does have a delete
scriptmethod.


TypeName: System.Management.ManagementObject#root
\cimv2\Win32_Printer



TypeName: System.Management.ManagementObject#root
\cimv2\Win32_Printer

GetType ScriptMethod System.Object GetType();
Put ScriptMethod System.Object Put();
