I did not find an article or discussion regarding this so after I had worked through it I thought I would offer up my solution for anyone else who might find it useful.
This is a method for installing the Pharos Popup client on OS X 10.10 and creating a policy to install the printers via scripts.
- Obtain the Popup Client from the Pharos website: https://community.pharos.com/docs/DOC-1650. This location may change, but you can search for Pharos Popup client mac.
- This will contain a simple DMG which you can just drag to Casper Admin as is. It does not require any configuration.
- Create a Computer Policy in the JSS that adds the PopClient package.
- Create a script under Computer Management Settings | Scripts.
a. The full syntax for the script can be discovered by running 'man lpadmin' from Terminal.
b. My sample script is as follows:
lpadmin -p "QueueName" -E -D "DisplayName" -v popup://PharosPrintServer/QueueName -o printer-is-shared=false -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/PPDFileName.gz"
c. -P will accept files with extensions of .gz or .ppd.
5. Add the script as a Post function to the policy your created earlier.
Alternatively you can put it all into a single package using the instructions from Pharos:
