Network printer status

[Ericb2 0]

I found this code and it works well but I want to make a few tweaks, and since I am very new to this I was hoping I could ask for some education.  I understand enough to know that first few lines are what pull the printers, but I want to understand  how exactly that is going on.  In this case I want to specify a printer and not pull every one, can someone please explain. 
Thanks

$intPrinters = 1

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer")

For $objItem In $colItems
    MsgBox(0,"Printer Info","Printers on " _
             & $objItem.name & ", Printer Number: " & $intPrinters & @LF & _
            "====================================" & @LF & _

This is the line you need to change to restrict which printers are returned.

$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer")

  Example: Selects a specific printer by name

; Finds only printers named HP LaserJet 1020
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer where name = 'HP LaserJet 1020' ")

Example: Selects all printers with a similar name.

; Finds only printers that have LaserJet as part of theire name % is a wildcard that matches anything
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer where name like '%LaserJet%' ")

Any of the other fields can also be use in the same or similar way to specify which one are returned.  (some have numeric values rather than a string)
