PowerShell: finding WSD printer details enumerating through HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SWD\DAFWSDProvider
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/08/13
WSD seems the way Microsoft Windows 8+ does printing, which makes it a lot harder to find the IP address of a printer, for instance to configure a Mac to print to it.
The key seems to be enumerating over HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SWD\DAFWSDProvider.
