If you want to know what options you have for printing files on a Microsoft Windows system, e.g., perhaps you want a list of currently avaialble printers or even want to know the IP addresses by which some printers are accessible, the PowerShell Get-Printer cmdlet may provide the information you are seeking. E.g.:
PS C:\Users\Pam> Get-Printer Name ComputerName Type DriverName PortName Shared Published ---- ------------ ---- ---------- -------- ------ --------- Microsoft XPS Document Writ...

You can get the listing in a longer format with more detail by using
Get-Printer | format-list. E.g.:
