title: How to get a printer object and rename it in Powershell 2.0
body: <p>I've been tasked by a client to rename several thousand printers across a dozen Windows 2008r2 nodes. Obviously, this is a job for powershell. But I only have PowerShell 2.0. I thought about deleting them and just rebuilding them but that would take even longer.</p>
  
  <p>What I need to do here is grab a printer and change its name. Problem, and for the life of me, I can't find how to get a specific printer!</p>
  
  <p>All I need to know is how to lookup a printer by its name (I've got a spreadsheet), take its object, and modify it to the new name. Help please!</p>
  
  <p>Please note, I don't know how to use vbscript. I spent all yesterday and this morning trying to figure out how to use Win32_Printer in vb and I just give up.</p>
