Pre-Installed Printer Drivers

[cheekycharly]

Hi Folks, I just tried NTLite for the first time and I am loving it! I told the base OS to include the drivers to my Kyocera and I know they are in there but how would I pre-install the driver so that in Print management it shows under All Drivers. Feel like there is an extra step or a script I would need to run.

Thank you in advance!

If your image has the correct printer drivers installed, then add a PowerShell script to Post-Setup (Machine).

Read this guide, and skip the steps where they add the driver files. But pay attention to how the driver and ports are named.

Install, remove, list, and set default printer with PowerShell

With PowerShell, you can easily install a printer driver, add a printer to the repository, and then add a local or shared network printer to your Windows installation. In this post, I will also explain how you can list printers, add a printer port, set the default printer, and remove a printer...

Copy script as Add-Printer.ps1

Add-PrinterDriver -Name "Samsung M337x 387x 407x Series"
Add-Printer -DriverName "Samsung M337x 387x 407x Series" -Name "Samsung M337x" -PortName (Get-PrinterPort -Name LocalPort*).Name

$Printer = Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_Printer -Filter "Name='Samsung M337x'"
Invoke-CimMethod -InputObject $Printer -MethodName SetDefaultPrinter
