Intune Install Printer Driver

I am trying to install a Printer driver via a Win32app using System to install.

 

Have set configuration as below:

 

Its a simple powershell script which runs perfectly when installing on a device as an administrator.

 

$printdriver = "PCL6 V4 Driver for Universal Print"

C:\Windows\system32\pnputil.exe /add-driver "r4600.inf" /install

Add-PrinterDriver -name $printdriver

 

However installing it via Intune I get an event id 215 with failed error code 0x0 HRESULT 0x80070705 on the device.

 

Any help appreciated.

    According to:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/printing/event-ids-associated-point-print-restrictions
    Those errors are related to point-and-print.

    Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Admin

    Source: Microsoft-Windows-PrintService

    Event ID: 215

    Description:

    Installing printer driver <DriverName> failed, error code 0x23f, HRESULT 0x8007023f. See the event user data for context information.

     

    I deploy a printer via Intune using Powershell. I had similar issues years ago. I had to add some code to determine if the architecture was 32-bit or 64-bit as the Intune Management Extension runs 32-bit regardless of which slider was selected on the script in Intune (Run as 64-bit). This was true at that time. It then called the correct version of pnputil (x86 or x64) based on that.

    # Check if the powershell environment is 32-bit or 64-bit and adjusts the path to pnputil.exe accordingly
if($env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE -eq "X86"){
    $Installer += "\sysnative\pnputil.exe"
    Write-Information "The Powershell process being run is: 32-bit"
    }
    else {
        $Installer += "\System32\pnputil.exe"
        Write-Information "The Powershell process being run is: 64-bit"
    }
$params = @("/add-driver","`"$INFCache`"","/subdirs","/install")
start-process $Installer -ArgumentList $params -wait -WindowStyle Hidden
Add-PrinterDriver -Name $driver
Add-PrinterPort -Name $port -PrinterHostAddress $address
Add-Printer -DriverName $driver -Name $name -PortName $port

    Here are the two articles that helped me then:

    I hope that helps. Maybe things have changed since then but, this logic still works for me today. Good luck!
