Upgrading printer - remove and add at the same time?

@llitz123 you can do this with one script. You can use a for loop to cycle through the printers on a system and delete the ones you want. Then you can add using lpadmin. You can also check to make sure the proper driver is installed before running the lpadmin commands and install using the jamf binary if it is missing.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ "$jamf_binary" == "" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ ! -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then
   jamf_binary="/usr/sbin/jamf"
elif [[ "$jamf_binary" == "" ]] && [[ ! -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then
   jamf_binary="/usr/local/bin/jamf"
elif [[ "$jamf_binary" == "" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then
   jamf_binary="/usr/local/bin/jamf"
fi

lpa='/usr/sbin/lpadmin'

# Check for printers and re-install
printers=($(lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}' | sed '/^$/d'))

for i in "${printers[@]}"
do
    ## check for partial portions of the printer name
    ## keep adding elif statements for more printers

    if [[ ${i} == *"Name1"* ]]; then
        lpadmin -x ${i}
    elif [[ ${i} == *"Name2"* ]]; then
        lpadmin -x ${i}
    elif [[ ${i} == *"Name3"* ]]; then
        lpadmin -x ${i}
    fi

done

## check for drivers
if [[ ! -f "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Xerox WorkCentre 7855.gz" ]]; then

    ${jamf_binary} policy -id <ID>

fi

## now re-add the printers

${lpa} -p NewPrinter1 -E -o printer-is-shared=false -v ipp://1.1.1.1/ipp/print -D "New Printer 1" -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Xerox WorkCentre 7970.gz"

${lpa} -p NewPrinter2 -E -o printer-is-shared=false -v ipp://1.1.1.1/ipp/print -D "New Printer 2" -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Xerox WorkCentre 7970.gz"

${lpa} -p NewPrinter3 -E -o printer-is-shared=false -v ipp://1.1.1.1/ipp/print -D "New Printer 3" -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Xerox WorkCentre 7970.gz"

exit 0

Obviously these are not Fiery printers, but you get the idea. I've found with Fiery controllers you need to use the lpadmin command to set the options like which graphic arts package, what deck, and any other EFI options. Whenever I've tried using the lpoptions command it does not set those options.

Oh, and as far as the Fiery drivers are concerned, I would highly recommend following @foigus blog post on how to use AutoPKG to generate Fiery installs. It has worked 100% of the time for me:

@stevewood Thanks. I'll take a look
