Hello All,
I am getting ready to start building policies for users to add self-service printers. There are about 100 printers to add. Each policy will be set up exactly the same (category, frequency, self-service, etc.). Is there any way to create these policies in a batch with the name of the policy matching the name of the printer or do I have to create each one individually?
You can create a script with all of them included...
You'll need to get all the appropriate info, but here's an example of four printers in one script:
#!/bin/bash
# installs new printers
# 09/01/2022
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p "_10_11_111_111_S1FollowYouPrint" \\
-E \\
-D "S1FollowYouPrint" \\
-P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/RICOH IM C5500" \\
-v eqtrans://10.11.111.111/S1FollowYouPrint \\
-o OptionTray=1Cassette \\
-o Finisher=FinRUBICONC \\

sleep 2
