(46) Intune Win32 Printer Drivers

There are a number of ways to deploy printer drivers, depending on the situation whether it is "Point to Print", "Direct Print" or something else. As part of a current project I have been working for MMD (Microsoft Managed Desktop), to ensure all 64 printers got deployed to the MMD devices, I had to package Printer Drivers as Win32 Apps.

The easiest I did was in this format where:

drivers folder contains all the drivers related for the printer

detect.ps1 will check if Get-PrinterDriver -Name "$DriverName" has been installed as part of the installed

install.ps1 will install the $DriverName = "HP Universal Printing PCL 6", which then runs C:\Windows\System32\pnputil.exe /add-driver followed by Add-PrinterDriver -Name "$DriverName"

remove.ps1 will uninstall or remove $DriverName = "HP Universal Printing PCL 6".

The scripts can be found here: https://github.com/mrbernardmah/intune-printer-drivers

Packaging the app, obtain the packaging tool from here.

This will create the install.intunewin.

Navigating to https://endpoint.microsoft.com then select Add then select Win32 App

Enter the name and description

Install command: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1

Uninstall command: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File remove.ps1

Requirements, select the required.

Detection, upload the detect.ps1

There are no dependencies or supersedence.
