Installing Printers

Is there a way to Change and or setup printer for a whole dept through kace. I'm lookin for a way to setup all the printers in one dept when we change printers on the print server.

Thanks

Kevin

  • If they are shares from a print server just write a batch file and point to the Printers. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Install+shared+printer+with+batch+file
    Then deploy the script to a label that groups the department. - rsm11 11 years ago

A lot of the answer depends on how the printers are installed on the client machine.  See below for some ideas.

    Very helpful vbs scripts in there from Microsoft. - AFCUjstrick 11 years ago
