Sends output to a printer. The Out-Printer cmdlet sends output to the default printer or to an alternate printer, if one is specified. Since the cmdlet doesn't have any way to configure the print job, the resulting print job uses the default settings defined for the printer. NOTE: This cmdlet was reintroduced in PowerShell 7. This cmdlet is only available on Windows systems that support the Windows Desktop.
