+24Perhaps it’s obvious, but if you’re adding a printer via self-service (or remote) the drivers need to be installed first right? Just want to make sure I’m not missing something

+28Most likely, yes, if the printer needs more than a PPD. If it just needs a PPD, that'll be installed with the printer. This is why I always set up/test/add to the JSS from a newly-installed or purchased system, not an existing one.

With Snow Leopard's new dynamic printer driver features (it adds them when it needs them), on 10.6 machines Software Update will present any needed drivers as required updates (it's done this with HP and Ricoh printers, in my experience) following the printer install. So, perhaps a best practice, on 10.6 machines, would be to run Software Update following any printer installs? Perhaps as a postflight/"run after" script?
