Installing Printers Via Policy

[#1]

Has anyone had success using Casper to deploy printers?

When I add a printer in Casper Admin I get this error message "There was and error creating the new object in the JSS"
followed by <Xxml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<jamfServlet server= "Apache Tomcat/6.0.1.4" version="6.01">
<new_id>-1</new_id>
<lastError>Inserting Printer: java.sql.SQLException:Unknown column 'contents" in 'field list'</lastError>
</jamfServlet>

It show them in Casper Admin. When I go to get a policy to add the printers they're not there....

Any Ideas?

It sounds like you're having some trouble creating the printer in the first
place. Even though they appear in Casper Admin, the fact that you received
an error when creating the printer tells me that the printer item you see in
Casper Admin is not to be trusted. I'd contact JAMF support and get that
straightened out first.
My guess is that once whatever issue is causing your problematic printer
creation is solved, you'll be able to deploy printers successfully.

I would agree with you that just the creation of the object failing is
the root of the issue.
