Examples
Example 1: Restart a selected print job
PS C:\> Restart-PrintJob -PrinterName "PrinterName" -ID 1This command restarts the print job with an ID of 1 on the printer named PrinterName.
Example 2: Restart a print job by using printer object and the print job ID
PS C:\>$printer = Get-Printer -PrinterName "PrinterName"
PS C:\>Restart-PrintJob -PrinterObject $printer -ID 1This set of commands retrieves the printer object in to a variable ($printer) using Get-Printer, and then passes the content of the variable to Restart-PrintJob to restart the print job with the ID of 1 on the printer contained in the printer object.
Example 3: Restart print job using job object
PS C:\>$printJob = Get-PrintJob -PrinterName "PrinterName:" -ID 1
PS C:\>Restart-PrintJob -InputObject $printJobThis set of commands retrieves the print job with an ID of 1 in to a variable ($printJob) using Get-PrintJob, and then passes the contents of the variable to Restart-PrintJob to restart the print job on a printer by using a print job object.
