Hi @Annemie,

Yes, you can automate and simplify the adding/configuration process by deploying scripts to the required Windows devices from the Hexnode portal.

Have a look at Executing Custom Scripts to know more.

I tried to run a script which I got from the internet, but it failed. Can you please help?

Hi @famk_e,

You can use the following PowerShell script to add network printers on Windows 10 devices.

Add printer on windows 10

Add-Printer -ConnectionName \\printServer\printerName

1	Add-Printer -ConnectionName \\printServer\printerName

Provide your organization’s printer server name and printer name instead of ‘printServer’ and ‘printerName’, respectively.

This script is obtained from a third-party Open-Source site. Hence, Hexnode will not be responsible for any damage/loss to the system due to the behavior of the script. Also, please validate the script execution on a device before executing it in bulk.

Hi @Skylar..a,

You can try executing the following batch script.

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\servername\Serverprinter

1	rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\servername\Serverprinter

Provide your organization’s printer server and printer name instead of ‘servername’ and ‘Serverprinter’, respectively.
