Collect printer information

- Printer Name

- Model Number

- Serial Number (maybe by SNMP for network printers)

- Connection type (e.g. USB,TCP/IP etc)

- Port name

- Addresses (e.g. IP address)

- Driver details

Addl info from Idea 6025 which we're merging in:

Please extend the Advanced Insights Hardware Inventory Classes to include the Win32_Printer.
I am currently collecting and storing the information for retrieval so our technicians, when doing PC rebuilds, are able to add printers for the end user when doing computer rebuilds.
Please see my github for how I'm currently doing this. In short, the information is collected from the current users session and written to a persistent hive in the registry. SCCM has a custom mof config to then retrieve this information during the hardware inventory cycle and is readable via resource explorer.

The insights into displays, batteries, and storage are great. It would be awesome to have that same insight into local printers.
