We use Group Policy Preferences to set up the printer using Direct IP (we use Computer Preferences so that the printer is installed once). We use a print server, but only to download the drivers. The server is not used for anything else, it’s just hit once when the printer is installed to download the driver bits. So far it’s worked great for us.

Its on the back-burner for now though. Sent from Windows Mail From: Timothy Ransom<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 12:34 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Hi, I am looking for any details on using universal print drivers with OSD. We have dozens of models of all major printer manufacturers. Previously, we used a print cluster and after imaging restored user’s network printers then drivers auto-installed from the print cluster on first client connection to printers. Now we are using IP printing instead and need to have drivers available locally. How are you deploying universal print drivers in task sequences? Can they be pre-loaded on images?
