Install a network connected HP printer on a windows workstation.

HP Universal Driver – Install Printer

With the HP Universal Driver, I dont have to create a different component for each model HP printer, I can take care of them all at once. This component takes the IP and Name of a printer, and installs it on the workstation. It will be available for all users on the workstation.

Technical Info

This component will first attempt to ping the IP you supplied. If sucsessful, it will then download the driver from HP, unpack it, then launch it using the /sm and /n switches which feed the IP and Name to the installer. Once the component runs, you will see the printer pop up in Devices pretty quickly

Required Variables or UDFs

Level	Name	Value	Notes
Component	PrinterIP	x.x.x.x	IP address of the printer to add

Security Checks

If this component downloads any external files other then grabbing the script from our repository, they will be listed here so you can do your own due diligence if needed.
