Printers not automatically provisioned after remove
Hello Community. I have a problem with Universal Print and I suspect it has to do with the fact that I removed the printer once. I have a policy, this applies to my Azure Virtual Desktops use...

Microsoftdob126 - Deploying printers via Intune has been simplified and you DO NOT need UP provisioning tool or printers.csv anymore.
I suggest you try out https://aka.ms/GetToKnowUniversalPrint (Section 3) to learn more.
You can also go to Universal Print printer provisioning via Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) | Microsoft Learn
Hi.
Yes, that’s what I did before but the endpoint manager policy is only nice for a first time deployment and as I wrote it does not recreate printers as soon as they have been removed. Or it needs a lot of time to recreate. However that was my question. If this is by design or not.
What I did now is to create a remediation script in endpoint manager which runs once an hour and checks if the printer is available. That’s the reason for my workaround with the 0.1.0 and the printer.csv. Just because the policy does not ensure enough stability.
I think the policy should recreate the printer very fast especially in an virtual desktop environment where it’s s known issue that the printer is gone for all users if one user deletes them.

Can one of you help clarify the expected behavior?
Saurabh_Bansal I am also intrested in how can I return printers if they were deleted. We also use Universal print approach.
In my case, I`ve delete the printers manually and know can't return them back?
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thank you and have agreat day!
