Adding a IP printer and drivers post install task
Hi
Is there a way to add a printer and the drivers to a windows 10 image in a Post-install task?
We have so many printers, we do use GPO's in some school but others are added manually
thanks

This should hopefully answer the driver side:

As for adding the printers, I've never done that in a post-install task, I usually had a printer server handle that. Hopefully another user may have an answer to that

Found something with the printui.exe
in c:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US there's some scripts ready
How to Create a TCP/IP Port for a Network Printer?
If you want to connect a network printer, you must first create a TCP/IP printer port for it (suppose the printer IP address is 192.168.1.22):
cscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prnport.vbs" -a -r IP_192.168.1.22 -h 192.168.1.22 -o raw -n 9100
-r IP_192.168.1.22 – a name of the network port;
-h 192.168.1.22 – IP address of the device;
-o raw – a port type (raw or lpr);
-n 9100 – the number of the TCP port of the device (usually 9100).
And then you can install a new network printer on the system:
cscript "C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs" -a -p "HP5525" -m "HP Universal Printing PCL 6" -r " IP_192.168.1.22"
After the script is over, a new printer HP5525 appears in the system. - psaussey 4 years ago-

Remember that printers are configured on a per-user basis so you'll need your script to run in user context, not system. - anonymous_9363 4 years ago
