Modify printer properties

I’m attempting to modify printer properties for all printers on a print server.  The specific properties that I need to change are to disable the setting “Enable bidirectional support”, and disable the setting “Update Configuration from Printer”.  My print server is windows 2003 with Powershell 2.0.  I do have access to a Windows 2012 (R1) server with Powershell 3.0.  I have been able to select print drivers, using the set-printer cmdlets on the Windows 2012 server, and connecting to the remote (windows 2003) print server.  My hope is that I can use the same set-printer cmdlet and set-printerproperty cmdlet to change the 2 settings that I’ve mentioned.  But, so far, I’ve been unable to do so.

Get-PrinterProperty -PrinterName <PrinterName> -ComputerName <computername> -PropertyName "Config:UpdateConfigurationFromPrinter"

The above command does return the correct printer property.  But, when I use the following command:

Set-PrinterProperty -PrinterName "$($printer.Name)" -ComputerName "$($printer.ComputerName)" -PropertyName "Config:UpdateConfigurationFromPrinter" -Value False

I get this error:

Set-PrinterProperty : The specified property was not found.

At line:1 char:1

+ Set-PrinterProperty -PrinterName <PrinterName> -ComputerName <ComputerName> ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_PrinterProperty:ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_PrinterProperty) [Set-Prin

   terProperty], CimException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070002,Set-PrinterProperty

I get the same error if I try to pipe the result of Get-PrinterProperty into Set-PrinterProperty.

Regarding “Enable Bidirectional Support”, I haven’t found any way to set this property, using Set-Printer or Set-PrinterProperty.

If I use WMI instead of the cmdlets, I’m running into similar issues.  With WMI, I can view the property EnableBIDI, but have been unable to set the value.  Also, with WMI I haven’t found a property that appears to be the “Update Configuration from Printer”

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
