Deploy Printer
Thanks for getting back.
I've managed to overcome the creating intunewin file after seeing a tutorial video on YouTube.
Now, I'm getting stuck at extract/convert the setup.exe to .msi. Do you familiar with this?
Thanks.

I created a blog about this topic... maybe it helps you to make sure the printer and driver is going to be installed

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!
- Dec 10, 2021That vbs method should work indeed... Pnputil/printbrm/prndrvr.vbs are all possible options to deploy some printers and drivers

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. - Sk-73Sep 17, 2021Iron Contributor
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 - Sep 17, 2021
I would go for that inf file i am mentioned earlier in the screenshot.

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.
