How to deploy 1000 printers on multiple print servers in just 45 minutes

Hi Guys ,

This post is about automating the task to deploy printers on print servers . We are usually faced with this task often and specially if you are working with SAP team where printers are controlled by SAP, or you have a huge site where printers are deployed often to print servers .We had a requirement recently to deploy 1000 printers which were controlled by SAP .

So if we try to deploy 1000 printers manually it will take a month , so  I wrote this Power Shell script to automate the task.

The function of the script:

1. You need to have all the information about the printers which you can fill in this excel file and name it printers.csv :

2. Once done run the following PowerShell script to add the printers to the print server .

CreatePrinters

3. The script will first ping the printer and see if its online and then add the printers with the details mentioned in the excel.

4. This script will reduce man-hours needed to accomplish this task .

If you have any more questions regarding this please let me know .
