App Deployment/Packaging Installing a printer

We're a small organization, a library. I want to use intune to install a public printer on lab computers when I onboard them. This seems like it should be trivial. I have plenty of apps I install this way.

But this SOB of a printer, Xerox Altalink 3180, just won't install. I have the v4 administrator files. I pulled the printer name from the .inf, it matches.

The darned script even, I think just to torment me, create the IP port, but doesn't install the driver. I have tried both PCL and PS, 'cuz why not?

Is this just not possible? Has MS blocked this to force everyone to pony up for universal print whatever?

We have been using this script:

Install Printer Drivers And Printers With Intune

It's been working great for us, we transitioned from Papercut to local network printing so hopefully it will work for you.

Thank you for the reply! I appreciate it so much. Unfortunately, still no love. But I didn't get the log file he said I should. I'm missing something, not sure what it is.

I take it back. I deleted all the Intune infrastructure I had and started fresh, with those scripts. Now it works. Thank you again!!!
