Trying to deploy print driver in Intune

Question

Trying to deploy print driver

Cannot use Universal Print printer

Deployed driver with Win32 application package and it failed. I cloud not find meaningful log entries.

How should I deploy drivers?

Answer 1

Open Event Viewer > Application and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows > PrintService to find print-related errors.

Download the Win32 Content Prep Tool from the Microsoft site.

Use Add-AppxPackage or a custom PowerShell script if you need to run any additional setup commands to install driver.

Answer 2

@Carl C. Maschke, Thanks for posting in Q&A. To deploy app via Intune win32, please ensure the app support silently install. Then test to see if the silent install command can work when we manually run it.

1.Download and install PSExec tool to run with system account.

2.CD to PSTools directory

3, psexec –i –d –s cmd.exe to run cmd in Ntauthority\system context

4.whoami to check running context

5.Switch the app location and run the app install command we configured to see if the app can be installed silently

Hi, the Universal Print Class driver is already staged to the driver store of all Windows 10 and 11 systems. You can't add the package. nor do you need to add the package to any supported version of Windows. The driver is hidden, Excludefromselect, from any UI supported method to install print drivers so PowerShell is going to be the best way to pull the files from the driverstore\filerepository directory and add them for the print spoiler use.
