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?
 
RE: Printer Installation

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.
