Deploy Printer

Hi Hjorthen 

Happy new year soon! Sorry for the late response, and I think I have no chance to try it again since now I've joined diff company, also using endpoint manager to manage all the devices but here is using Xero-X printer. I'll keep it for the future and I'll share it with my friends if they need help with this. 

You even attached the printer driver. Thank you once again!

Hi Hjorthen I'll take a look later. Thank you so much for your reply!  😃

I have deployed the exact same driver with the script below:

Add-PrinterPort -PrinterHostAddress IP_ADDRESS_HERE -Name "IP_ADDRESS_HERE"

cscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prndrvr.vbs" -a -m "Canon Generic Plus PCL6" -i ".\GPlus_PCL6_Driver_V250_32_64_00\x64\Driver\CNP60MA64.INF" -h ".\GPlus_PCL6_Driver_V250_32_64_00\x64\Driver" -v 3

Add-Printer -Name "PRINTERNAME_HERE" -PortName "IP_ADDRESS_HERE" -DriverName "Canon Generic Plus PCL6"

Attached is the driver folder with the driver unziped.
When deployed, both the driverfolder and the script should be placed in the same folder - in my case i placed both within the same folder in the root of the C:\ drive like shown in the image here:

Note that i converted the script to an .exe file called "add printers".

This solution worked perfectly for me, and i was able to add the printers without line of sight to them aswell.

Hi Rudy_Ooms_MVP 

Thank you.

Can I check with you the below two commands? Please advise if the command is correct. Thanks.

powershell.exe *Executionpolicy Bypass .\install.ps1
powershell.exe *Executionpolicy Bypass .\uninstall.ps1

Hi Rudy_Ooms_MVP 

Thank you. I've two questions.

1. How to make the .inf visible?

2. I found more than 1 .inf file, may I know how do I determine which is the one I need to do the script? Grateful for your kind assistance.

Hi, looking at the screenshot... the inf is there?

Dear Rudy_Ooms_MVP 

I hope all is well with you.

Can I check with you regarding I cannot find the *inf file inside the printer driver folder. In this case, what should I proceed to the next step? Will need your kind advice on this.

Hi Rudy_Ooms_MVP

Thanks for getting back.

I've managed to push the printer driver to the target machine. 

But the printer it doesn't show in the printer list there.

But I can see it in the control panel.

Do you have any ideal?

Regards,

Sk.

Hi Rudy_Ooms_MVP 

Good day.

I download and convert the target printer driver setup.exe to the .msi. I not familiar with using these tools. Kindly advise if I did it in the wrong way. Because I'm not sure what's the many different options there, I only make sure the file type is msi.

Processing.

Copy that msi file to the printer driver folder.

Execute the IntuneWinAppUtil

100% successfully. The intunewin file is inside the IntuneAppOutput folder.

Creating a group policy in MAM, upload the intunewin.file

Then click the OK button, awaiting the outcome. Even though I'm successful in pushing the driver to the target machine, the configuration is not done. I think I still need a PowerShell script.

Regards,

Sk.

Hi Rudy_Ooms_MVP 

The blog you create is fantastic.
Could you please take a look at it below? Is this the correct *.inf file?

I'm now encounter diff error msg.

The way you push a new printer is better—Microsoft Universal Cloud Print solution.
The way I'm doing now, it just pushes the printer driver to the target machine, without port IP, print preference configuration.

But, I think my client does not subscripted the universal print service. Please see the below attached.

So, I hope I can at least push the new printer driver to everyone.

Thanks.
