How can I obtain the driver key for an installed device?
Unfortunately this Question was asked 4 years ago but no answer yet How can I obtain the driver key for a driver programmatically?
actually if it was answered, I would not ask again.
I have a software depends on Naps2 scanner software. I want to generate profiles.xml file and it depends on Driver Key and DeviceName
profiles.xml like below:

after searching windows devices I found that the Driver Key {6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0000 is in here:
What I need is a PowerShell script or one-line script that gives me a Driver Key like "{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0000" with zeros or any number depending on how much scanners are connected to the machine (NOT Class GUID only {6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}), and Device Name like below:
Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object { $_.PNPCLass -eq "Image"} | select *
Or
Get-WmiObject Win32_PnPSignedDriver | Where-Object { $_.PNPCLass -eq "Image" } | select *
Thanks in advance
Solution
Removing all the stuff from my first response (if you kept that, it may be useful later to you) and coming back to what Abraham Zinala pointed you to and tweak it to get the value you are after.
# Using WMI
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_pnpEntity
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_pnpEntity -Filter 'Name like "Brother%"'
(Get-WmiObject -Class win32_pnpEntity -Filter 'Name like "Brother%"')[1] |
Select-Object -Property '*'
(Get-WmiObject -Class win32_pnpEntity -Filter 'Name like "Brother%"')[1].GetDeviceProperties().DeviceProperties |
Select-Object -Property keyName, data |
Select-Object -First 7

Point of note: Not all known cmdlets are available on all PS versions/OS platforms.
I use my custom function to get such info dynamically as needed.
