Printer Installation

[Guest Komandur Kannan]

We have configured a new Printer Server with 20+ Network Printers.We have

more than 200 users divided as groups in Domain controller.In order to avoid

going on every client machine and install printer,I tried to install printer

remotely from the server with Printui.dll according to microsoft article ,but

it fails and showing errors .

Is there any other way to install printer remotely on client

machine from the server?

Can we install Printer Remotely on client machine through SMS

Server?

Hello Kannan,

 

Thank you for using newsgroup!

 

Based on my knowledge, we can package the printer setup software/driver and

create a .msi or .exe file. And then you may distribute the .msi or .exe

file using SMS.

 

However, generally, we recommend our customers use script including the

Printer User Interface (PrintUIEntry) command. For more related

information, please refer to:

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks & Regards,

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
