CIM_Printer class
The CIM_Printer class represents the capabilities and management of the printer logical device.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of its inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

The SetPowerState method can be invoked with the PowerState parameter set to 5 (Power Cycle).
Timed Power On Supported (7)
The SetPowerState method can be invoked with the PowerState parameter set to 5 (Power Cycle) and Time set to a specific date and time, or interval, for power-on.
PowerManagementSupported
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, the device can be power managed, that is, put into a power-save state. If FALSE, the integer value 1 ("Not Supported") should be the only entry in the PowerManagementCapabilities array.
This property does not indicate whether power management features are currently enabled, or if enabled, which features are supported. For more information, see the PowerManagementCapabilities array. This property is inherited from CIM_LogicalDevice.

Remarks
The CIM_Printer class is derived from CIM_LogicalDevice.
WMI does not implement this class. For WMI classed derived from CIM_Printer, see Win32 Classes.
This documentation is derived from the CIM class descriptions published by the DMTF. Microsoft may have made changes to correct minor errors, conform to Microsoft SDK documentation standards, or provide more information.
