    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 - the only reason I see that happening is when the printer is not shared. When you Get-UPPrinter, what does it say against printer's "IsShared" and "Share" properties?

 

Here is the output from what I run:

 > $myprinter = Get-UPPrinter | where-object {$_.Name -eq "printer_shared"}

> $myprinter |Format-List

 

PrinterId : f10a7a74-a2a0-421a-97ff-258a68979d83
Name : printer_shared
Manufacturer : Test
Model : Test
RegisteredBy :
RegisteredDateTime : 8/28/2020 7:03:05 PM +00:00
Status : Microsoft.UPManagement.Models.PrinterStatus
Capabilities :
IsShared : True
Location : Microsoft.UPManagement.Models.PrinterLocation
Jobs :
Share : Microsoft.UPManagement.Models.PrinterShare
Connectors : {}

If I run it for a printer that is not shared, here is what I get:

> $myprinter1 = Get-UPPrinter | where-object {$_.Name -eq "printer_not_shared"}

> $myprinter1 |Format-List

 

PrinterId : 5aa18aaa-93f7-4884-8919-c8ccded505ff

 Hi, Yes I can get all of that information when I run get-upprinter but the output you're showing me isn't from the same script that you posted in your first reply. 

 

In any case, none of that gives you the ShareID property, which is required to apply permissions using the grant-upaccess command
