What is the Print3D deviceType on Windows Print-Server

I had the same question recently. I used below code

get-printer -computername targetpc | where-object{$_.devicetype -eq "print"}

I hope it helps

A possible explanation: you logged on via RDP to this server from a Windows 10 computer and didn't turn off the option to connect local printers; as a result, print drivers from the client got installed on the server.

I asked Microsoft about this and I'm told it's a feature of Windows 10. As for why a regular printer shows as a 3D printer, still unknown. Could be a bug in the get-printer cmdlet.

When the devicetype is Print3D it means the hardware support for 3D printing is provided by the Printer hardware. With 3D Builder, you can scan, construct, and print 3D models in Windows 10.
