Someone have make it work on Windows? The printer is showing, the job it's being created but the event on nodejs is not firing therefore no .ps file is created.

I wrote Powershell script for printer installation:

$PrinterName = "FillYoutPrinterName"

Write-Output "Step 1"
Try {
    # Step 1 - Enable InternetPrinting feature
    $Feature = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Printing-Foundation-InternetPrinting-Client"
    if ($Feature.State -ne "Enabled") {
        Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Printing-Foundation-Features" -NoRestart | Out-Null
        Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Printing-Foundation-InternetPrinting-Client" -NoRestart | Out-Null
        Write-Output "Printing-Foundation-InternetPrinting-Client feature enabled."
    } else {
        Write-Output "Printing-Foundation-InternetPrinting-Client feature already enabled."
    }
} Catch {
    Write-Output "<!--- An error occurred @ Step 1 ---!>"
    Write-Output $_.ScriptStackTrace
}

Write-Output ""
Write-Output "Step 2"
Try {
    # Step 2 - Check if printer exists
    $Printer = Get-Printer -Name $PrinterName -erroraction 'silentlycontinue'
    If ($Printer) {
        Write-Output "Printer already installed."
    } Else {
        Write-Output "Install printer..."
        
        # Step 2.1 - Find printer driver name
        $PrinterDriver = Get-PrinterDriver -Name "HP *" # You can change this to any other printer driver
        if ((-Not $PrinterDriver) -or ($PrinterDriver.length -eq 0)) {
            Write-Output "Can't find printer driver."
            exit 1
        }
        $PrinterDriverName = $PrinterDriver[0].Name;
        Write-Output "Driver name = $PrinterDriverName"
        
        # Step 2.2 - Install printer
        Write-Output "Install printer..."
        Add-Printer -Name $PrinterName -DriverName $PrinterDriverName -PortName "http://$($env:COMPUTERNAME):3007/printers/$PrinterName"
        
        Write-Output "Printer ($PrinterName) installed successfully."
    }
} Catch {
    Write-Output "<!--- An error occurred @ Step 2 ---!>"
    Write-Output $_.ScriptStackTrace
}
