Remove Annoying XPS and TIFF Microsoft Office Printers

When you are installing whatever version of Microsoft Office it is installing without any question two types of printers which are useless in some configurations and even more they are malicious when some of it is selected as default.
That is why I decided to delete Microsoft XPS Document Writer and Microsoft Office Document Image Writer from all workstations using this script.

Get-QADComputer -OSName *XP | foreach `
    {
    if (Test-Connection $_.name -Quiet)
        {
        $name=$_.name;
        (Get-WmiObject win32_printer -ComputerName $name  | where {$_.name -eq "Microsoft XPS Document Writer"}).delete()
        (Get-WmiObject win32_printer -ComputerName $name  | where {$_.name -eq "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer"}).delete()
        }
    }

P.S. I am using:

• $Host.Version 3.0 Preview
• Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement 1.4.0.2139
