problem adding printers remotely with Add-printer

I am trying to add printers remotely with Add-Printer.  When I use the command locally it works, but when I try to run it remotely it says the server or printer name is invalid.

 

add-printer -ConnectionName '\\servername\old printer'   -this works

icm computername {add-printer -connectionname '\\servername\old printer'} -credential domain\username        -this does not work  

 add-printer : The specified server does not exist, or the server or printer name is invalid.  Names may not contain
',' or '\' characters.
At line:1 char:1
+ add-printer -ConnectionName '\\servername\old printer\'
