Notes from setting up direct printing from scspc392 to xrxpr004 (ST #103000)

1. Create the printer port name.
   Add-PrinterPort -Name "DC-3322-WorkCentre-7535" -PrinterHostAddress "172.19.33.39" -ComputerName scspc392.cs.uwaterloo.ca
2. Add the printer using the printer port created in step 1.
   Add-Printer -Name "xrxpr004 - DC 3322 - Xerox WorkCentre 7535 PS" -DriverName "Xerox WorkCentre 7535 PS" -PortName "DC-3322-WorkCentre-7535" -ComputerName scspc392.cs.uwaterloo.ca

Notes taken from (ST #98848) Thu, Aug 20 2015 16:19 Stephen Nickerson (snickers) commented Did research on removing printer-related objects on windows machines via powershell.

Here is a summary of a bunch of stuff learned.

Confirmed on Jeannie's PC that MS Office no longer lists the "printers" from failed attempts at setting up the print queues for the PC. 

In the process, found another failed print queue attempt, "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325" 
- Jeannie asked for help with a Firefox print problem. 
  - She kept getting an error when trying to print to the networked printer in her office. 
    - The name for the properly working queue for this printer is "scsadmin-dc2325 Xerox WorkCentre 5335" 
- Jeannie can print from Firefox successfully when using the "scsadmin-dc2325 Xerox WorkCentre 5335" printer. 

Removed the non-functioning printer, "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325" 
PS C:\Users\TEMP> Remove-Printer -name "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325" -ComputerName scspc602.cs.uwaterloo.ca
