Removing printers using WMI-Object

I have been tasked with removing several hundred local printers.  I have a spread sheet with PC names and printer names and I am trying to remove the printers using the WMI-Object method.  I have tried using the Remove-Printer method and I frequently get a message saying the print spooler is not available but when I use the WMI method it works perfectly.

If I user this command 

Get-WMIObject -ComputerName pdd21963 -query "Select * From Win32_Printer Where Name = 'hp designjet 4520 - n318'" | Remove-WmiObject

The printer is immediately removed.  However, when I use the script below I don't get any error messages but the printers are not removed.  

Import-Csv -path 'C:\removeprinters.csv' | foreach-object {

Get-WMIObject -ComputerName $_.comp -query "Select * From Win32_Printer Where Name = '$_.name'" | Remove-WmiObject

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy
