I can get the shareID like this:

Get-UPPrinter | select -ExpandProperty share | select sharename,shareid

Then I can share like this:

Grant-UPAccess -GroupId xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-ShareID xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx

NerradPB Have you looked at the PowerShell documentation here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-powershell?

You can get the same by trying the following sequence of commands:

> Connect-UPService

> $printers = Get-UPPrinter

> $printers[0].Share | Format-list

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply, yes I've read through the documentation several times. Unless I'm really blind today (and often I am), Get-UpPrinter does not reveal the ShareId anywhere near as I can tell. It tells you IF it's shared, and what the share name is, but that's all.

That command doesn't seem to do anything for me. Returned no results.
