I've been reading how to deploy printers via the command line and with the great advice of mpermann in answering others questions. I think I have a OK handle on it...

But i'm stuck at one thing, The Finisher for Ricoh Printers. The first time I send the command:
l[padmin -p lpr139c -E -v lpd://172.29.134.121 -m /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/RICOH Aficio MP 4002.gz -o printer-is-shared=false -o Finisher=FinKINGB

Printer gets added on the client machine, but the Finisher is 'Not Installed' If I send it a second time, the Finisher gets properly set.

Not sure why I have to run it a second time to get the finisher to set... Should I be running it one to just install, and a second command after to set the Finisher? Anyone seen this before?

On a side note, what is the "tag" I use to get the command above to appear as a single long line that you scroll across? instead of it auto-wrapping in the post box?

Thanks!

The tag you are looking for is the >__ One above the post box.
The script below is what we use to install our Konica Minolta Printers. You could save it as a .sh and run it as a policy in self service or save it as a .command and just run it on the host machine. You'll need to change a few things obviously. As for the a second command to set the finisher. Ours just works. Maybe you can find something in ours that yours doesn't have. EDIT: ours has a -o after the finisher. Maybe that would make a difference? I can't remember what the -o is modifying

Eh, maybe it's just Ricoh being crummy..
