Example 2: Script containing New-TpmsObjTcpIpPortLpr
Description
Defines a model for an LPR Port using the Standard TCP/IP Port monitor. The model is represented by a container that predefines all printer ports to be installed by Tpms.Agent in one variable.
Afterwards, this model can be used to define the target machine using New-TpmsObjApplyAgent and to perform the installation process using Start-TpmsApplyByAgent.

Syntax
New-TpmsObjTcpIpPortLpr -Name <String> -HostAddress <String> -Queue <string> [-EnableByteCounting <boolean>] [-Filter <char>]
| Parameter | Description |
| -Name | printer port name to be created; the port name must end with a colon ( : ), examples: LprPort: or "Lpr Port:" |
| -HostAddress | sets the printer’s or LPDs target address; see Printer Name or IP Address |
| -EnableByteCounting | enables LPR Byte Counting 1: enabled 0: disabled (default) |
| -Queue | name of the LPD queue on a Linux or Unix target machine; see Queue Name |
| -Filter | option: name of the decompression filter installed on the Linux or Unix target machine; only one character is to be given |
LPR Port settings
Example 1: cmdlet usage
$port = New-TpmsObjTcpIpPortLpr -Queue lp1 -HostAddress 92.168.210.61 -EnableByteCounting 1 -Name TpmsTestPort:
Defines a Standard TCP/IP Port with the denomination TpmsTestPort:, set up to LPR with the IP address 192.168.210.61 and the TCP port 515, and writes this setting to the variable $port.
See also New-TpmsObjApplyAgent for advice on using the $port variable.
Example 2: Script containing New-TpmsObjTcpIpPortLpr
The following script creates ten printers which are defined in a .csv file with Standard TCP/IP Ports (Protocol option set to LPR).

Start-TpmsApplyByAgent -Action Deploy -Servers ($srva) | Format-TpmsDispatchOn the target machine cps47.ourdomain.local, the script creates and configures ten Standard TCP/IP Ports – with Protocol option set to LPR – with ten printers connected to them. The queue names are set to lp0, and LPR Byte Counting is enabled. All port and printer settings can be found in the relevant .csv file.
Start-TpmsApplyByAgent -Action Deploy creates ports and printers on the target machine and -Action Remove deletes them.
