Hi All, I have an interesting issue that I'm hoping to have some input on. I have been doing just fine with our existing printer setup with drivers and such. We run a bunch of different models(school district) of HP.
My issue is with the newest models. HP is no longer posting the drivers to do the installs and push them with Casper, instead they are posting some garbage application that identifies the printer and then puts the drivers where they need to be. I have tried a capture after doing this yet on a test machine it always shows up as a generic with a message that I need to install the manufacture software. Anyone have any insight to this? The printers we are using are the M452 and the M402 newest models. I noticed that Apple recently updated their HP driver package to version 5.0 (August 2016). I just released it on my SUS last week.
But this new.pkg still doesnt contain drivers/PPDs for the fairly new HP M577 printer - which happens to be my company's default printer model, of course. Luckily, the older M575 driver/PPD (Which is available from Apple) seems to work OK.
I can forsee a future AutoDMG-like project that 1) Downloads the latest version of HP's craptastic 'Easy Start' app, 2) Iniates a download of HPs drivers into $TMPDIR., 3) captures them and 4) Bundles them into a.pkg. (.or skips HPs app altogather and downloads the drivers from HP's cloud repo). The HP Easy Start app is a joke. A sad sad pathetic little joke. I'm not looking forward to running/hacking the HP Easy Start app to poop-out a Mac PPD every time a new HP model gets deployed into production.
Ain't got time for that! I submitted a support ticket with HP USA. Boy - That was a lot of fun. Took almost an hour to navigate thier vast sprawl of portals and sites and forms to submit a ticket. HP has no desire to talk to their customers. Pretty sure the HP support call center is located near Pyongyang, North Korea. The most recent (possibly final?) printer update from Apple/HP is the HP Printer Drivers v5.0 for OS X (dated: Aug 30, 2016): Ill report back if I hear anything from HP's USA support team.
Another (more detailed) update from HP. Apple has decided to discontinue printer driver update through Apple Software Updates. Vendors will now be required to supply their own install bundles to users. ASU support officially ended this month, but Apple has not been allowing new devices to be added for several months.
We did one last update to v.5 of the ASU bundle but did not add printers just fixes for macOS Sierra 3.This is the package for all the Postscript Printers only. The package from Apple included all HP Devices. If you need device specific installer let me know to try to braek down the install package for you.
Still need to find out about PPD´s, however our guess is that they are actually in the com.hp.print.ps.support packages embedded in the installer. The essentials package installs more components than the Apple installer because we include scan support and the HP Utility. This is the deployment method going forward for macOS. Deploying just the PPD is risky because we have other components that enable the advanced features of the printer and are exposed to the user by using the printer specific PPD. So that actually works or worked for people?
I gave up on doing printers through Casper admin long ago because it never did point to the correct driver after capture.it was always generic. Once I learned how to configure through a command line statement I not only made deploying printers easier in that regard but it also allowed me to move to domain based printing from ipp and lpd. When I tried capturing through Casper admin and then would deploy it, the print jobs would hang. At any rate I'm now a proponent of doing printer installs with a simple one line script. No capturing necessary but, yes, I still need to install the pkg on the station so the driver is there. I don't remember when I started switching over but your process is the same as mine was. If I went into JSS and looked there, it would always be configured for generic.

The printers worked and no one complained but in my environment some users would rather complain than report issues so I didn't like deploying them like that. Like I said though it helped move things along to run printing through our domain print servers so that printing could be audited. It worked out best this way in the end. Some day maybe I'll come back and check it out again. It might make it easier for the non-Mac folks if I'm not around.
We supply an IP because that's what we've done in the past. We are an AD environment running Print Management 6.1.7600. We don't have to specify a PPD on the Mac, the print server handles the last mile, as you say. You're right that anyone could print to the printer using our method. We currently don't have anything set up requiring users to authenticate. However, our users aren't admins, so our students for example can only print to the one or two printers we configure on our cart & lab machines. They won't be able to add printers because they're not admins and therefore aren't part of the lpadmin group.
We give Faculty access to install all our available printers through Self Service, but a few we limit access to based on a user's AD sec group (in Scope limitations). You may find this article helpful for adding Windows SMB printers on Macs. In our environment we couldn't do that or instructors would abuse the nicer photo printers and plotters. We currently have a project open to remove a number of network and desktop printers and move to more centralized printing through printer/copiers wherever possible. It's meeting a lot of resistance but that's the plan for now. The idea for all of this is to reduce printing costs. We're using Papercut to help with this for specific student areas but not campus wide or I think that might be an option.
I'm not involved in the administration of that so I don't know its capabilities. I appreciate the link but the problem before wasn't with setting up Windows SMB printers on the Mac. That was the easy part. It was when using Casper to capture and deploy that it failed.
It was only when I moved to a command line configuration that it started working correctly. Does anyone know how to decipher HP's cryptic naming convention for their (gazillion) Mac drivers/PPDs? I see various names and dates, but cant tell what they mean. For example, if I want the latest, most comprehensive package of HP LaserJEt network printers, what package would contain the broadest selection (that the last Apple HP 5.0 package doesnt include)? What's the difference beween 'S' and 'SE'? Examples: -hp-printer-essentials-S-470.pkg -hp-printer-essentials-S-532.pkg -hp-printer-essentials-SE-570.pkg. I thought I'd chime in here.
Our primary concern is the package size, since we have a lot of remote schools with very limited bandwidth. The Apple HP Driver pkg is several hundred MB, and the 'Easystart' app pulls down over 100 MB as well. I've started using composer to cut the size down, and I've been pretty successful.
For example, our new printer this year is the 'HP Laserjet Enterprise M608'. I've managed to cut the EasyStart installation (which I think was 140MB) down to slight less than 1MB (927KB). It only took me about 5 minutes or so (not including the initial download time) and it works like a charm. I've attached a picture of the final package payload in Composer.

Okay, let's suppose you run the easy start on a computer running 10.12 and capturing it with composer. My question: What drivers exactly is it downloading, and for what OS versions? Would it just be downloading drivers compatible with 10.12, anything from 10.10 and above, or what? I don't want to install on machines and find out the driver really isn't compatible with a different OS version and it causes kernel panics. HP's easy start crap is not acceptable in an enterprise environment. I have over 500 Macs, 80+ network printers, and different OS versions. An 'easy start' to me is a recipe for chaos.
Once you run the HP Easy Start app and go through the process of finding your desired printer by searching for it by name or IP address Go to '/Library/Logs/HP Easy Start.log' in there you'll find the URL to download the actual package needed. In my case, it looked like this 'Start downloading the file from HTTP://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HPQuickStart/osx/Installations/Essentials/hp-printer-essentials-S-575.pkg' I was able to hit that URL in a browser and download the.pkg file, then create a policy to install the package, adds the printer and runs a script to disable printer sharing which gets enabled by default when you push that type of policy.
Hope this helps! This thread has been a lot of help to me, thank you! I was hoping someone might be able to help me with my deployment. Right now, I am utilizing this script in a policy: It calls a separate policy that installs my driver pkg (hp essentials 5 7 5). The driver policy is set to run once per computer.
Afterward, it uses lpadmin and script parameters to add the printer to the computer. This works great for the most part. However, I've noticed some discrepancies in the printer features. For instance, the HP printers are not able to view their Supply Levels under Options & Supplies. Instead, it says 'Information Not Available'. Also, when I open the Printer Utility (HP Utility that is installed from driver package), no printers are shown automatically. This feels problematic because when I add the same printer, manually through the GUI, it allows me to view Supply Levels and shows up in HP Utility just fine.
How could it be that the drivers are being partially applied if I haven't modified the package in any way? I've filled out my print server info in your script but I did comment out some of the naming variables. In the GUI, I'm going under the IP tab to add printer info and select my driver, which I'm assuming is directly.
So probably not a great test. Ok good to know. The main reason I'm investigating this is because I want to ensure I'm not missing other features from the drivers that may not be as noticeable. I was worried that they aren't being installed/applied fully. But with the feedback I'm receiving here, it seems this may not be the case.
I got in this morning and realized it's script!
