Cmdlet types
The following table shows the cmdlets of Tpms.Powershell according to their dependency of ThinPrint Engine components. The left column contains the cmdlets which can be used without any ThinPrint Engine component. However, the cmdlets on the right require a ThinPrint Engine, the Connection Service or a ThinPrint Client.
