I am messing around with Jamf pro and trying to add a printer. I go through settings>Computer Management>Printers How do I find the CUPS name for my printer?

All CUPS info can be tracked via http://localhost:631

When accessing this webpage for the first time, open terminal and type cupsctl WebInterface=yes

Click "Printers" at the top of the webpage


I generally add my printers in Jamf Admin. I install the printers onto the Mac, and then open Jamf Admin App on that Mac. Then hit the Printers icon, it will show any installed printers that are not already uploaded to the server. When you add them they populate with all of the required info and ppd files etc.
