    Example 1: Add a printer to a local computer
    
    PS C:\> Add-Printer -Name "mxdw 2" -DriverName "Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4" -PortName "portprompt:"
    
    This command adds a printer with name mxdw2 to the local computer. The mxdw printer uses the Microsoft XPS 
    Document Writer v4 driver and the portprompt: port.
    
    The portprompt: port prompts for a file name to save the XPS document when printing to the XPS printer.
    
    
    Example 2: Add a new network printer connection
    
    PS C:\> Add-Printer -ConnectionName \\printServer\printerName
    
    This command adds a printer by specifying the name of a print server and a shared printer on that server.
