MicrosoftHi, it's nice to be able to add printers using a MDM solution 🙂
Having worked with other MDMs it would be nice to be able to assign printers by IP address if they are stand alone printers.
For example, it would be nice to pick a computer, assign the IP of the local printer, along with the make, model, etc., all in a fill in a blank template and then push that printer to the computer.
Or assign printers to a static group, that have computers assigned to that group.
Having to create scripts, etc., seems backwards and not very user friendly.
We could then put all the printers in our organization into Endpoint management (about 30 or so), and then as people move from department to department, we just re-assign their computer to a different static group, or even have a all printer group for people who move around the organization on a daily basis.
I wish for IP assignments because many of our locations do not even have an on premise server anymore, and use stand alone network printers (Xerox for example).
Just a HTML fill in the blank template please.
In fact the more HTML cloud friendly your endpoint management can become the better.
What would be even more awesome would be an app on the computer where the printers in an organization show up (along with applications, etc.) and they install from a "self-service" the things they need. Apps could be pulled from the MS store in the background for example, or printer drivers from a central repository.
Thanks!
