I've searched numerous threads but have not found a solution yet, so here goes. I want to create a printer script that can be installed remotely.
Get-ChildItem$deployment-Filter*.inf-Recurse|%{pnputil.exe/a$_.FullName}
Get-PrinterDriver
Add-PrinterDriver-ComputerName$computerName-Name$model-verbose
Add-PrinterPort-ComputerName$computerName-Name$printerHost-PrinterHostAddress$printerIP-verbose
Add-Printer-ComputerName$computerName-PortName$printerHost-Name$printerHost-DriverName$model-verbose
It is safe to assume that $deployment has the .inf file that is needed, $computerName is correct and accessible. The name of $model is "Xerox Global Print Driver PS"
Processing inf : x3UNIVP.inf

I am still getting the error message that it does not exist in the driver store.
Help is greatly appreciated.
This script has worked many times but seems to fail on newly installed PCs.
Thanks!!
