PS C:\> $printer = Get-Printer -PrinterName "PrinterName"
PS C:\> Restart-PrintJob -PrinterObject $printer -ID 1

Example 3: Restart print job using job object

This set of commands retrieves the print job with an ID of 1 in to a variable ($printJob) using Get-PrintJob, and then passes the contents of the variable to Restart-PrintJob to restart the print job on a printer by using a print job object.

PS C:\> $printJob = Get-PrintJob -PrinterName "PrinterName:" -ID 1
PS C:\> Restart-PrintJob -InputObject $printJob
