PROOF OF CONCEPT (POC)

I've written the following Powershell script in 5 minutes.

The printmanagment module has cmd-lets that returns all required informations.

#Paolo Frigo, https://www.scriptinglibrary.com

#USER SETTINGS
$PrinterName        = "AutoDoc HSE"
$CriticalThreshold  = 8

#REQUIREMENTS
$PrinterStatus = (Get-Printer -Name $PrinterName).printerstatus         #STRING
$NumberOfPrintJobs = 9 #(Get-PrintJob -PrinterName $PrinterName).Count  #INT 
$Critical = $NumberOfPrintJobs -ge $CriticalThreshold                   #BOOLEAN

#Printout 
Write-Output $PrinterName, $PrinterStatus, $NumberOfPrintJobs, $Critical

FIRST RELEASE - V.1.0

I've spent about 2.5 hours for turning these few lines of code into something more robust, reusable and more importantly configurable in the future.

I've added logging functionality, decoupled part of external functionalities into libraries (in a lib folder) and finally listed a set of useful tests (still in progress) for code coverage and continuous integration (CI).

I've re-organised the documentation and readme (another 30 minutes).
