Printer Driver not found in DriverStore even though the file is there
I have a script that installs printer drivers onto a machine. It has worked perfectly for years up until yesterday. This is the script: # This script works on Windows 8 or newer since the add-prin...
What does Get-PrinterDriver show you on that system? The driver you added using pnputil.exe is there? You must use Add-PrinterDriver with the correct name inside the .inf file to add it. I wrote a blog post about adding printers using Intune here https://powershellisfun.com/2022/12/05/adding-printer-drivers-and-printers-using-microsoft-intune-and-powershell/ and it's usually those things that go wrong
- Hi Harm,
As you can see from the above script I am definitely using Add-Printer -Name $driver which has successfully added the driver in the past. When I use Get-PrinterDriver, the expected driver does not appear.- I understand that, so either pnputil doesn't work / throws an error or you specify the wrong name using add-printer (check the inf file carefully)
If you run the commands for that manually, what does that do?- Very same issue arises if I use the commands outside of the script. The thing that bothers me is that the INF file can in fact be found in the DriverStore, so it's on the machine.
