Hello every one,
Trying to make a bash script for adding a printer via Self Service. Some things is easier to solve and others not. :)

In this case I’m trying to fill out the following string to complete a command for a script.

lpadmin -p <destination> -E -D <destination> -v <device_uri> -m everywhere

The problem for me is what to set within all the < >, the printer in question is named followme and is a papercut-printer/que (follow me).

I’ve already run a command in my terminal that lists alot of parameters for the printer in question but I get rather unsure what to put where. Anybody able to help med out a bit? :)

I don’t script adding printers. I use Jamfs Printer manager.
Go to https://concepts.jamf.com/ where you will find the app.
Use that to add the printer to your Jamf instance, and then create a policy to Map that printer to your Machines, and set it to Self Service. I would also add the printer drivers to the same policy, so that the Mac gets everything at the same time.

Thanks for the link. But I think I solved it rather good with help of PrinterSetup, made a script triggered via Self Service.
