Print Settings via Intune

[CyBeRkId2002]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to push out some basic print settings via Intune and I am 99% of the way there but have fallen at the final hurdle. All I want to enable is Secure Print defaults for all of our Kyocera devices at one of the schools. So far I have:

 

• configured the driver as I want it
  
• exported the settings using the command "printui.exe /Ss /n "School Printer" /a "SchoolPrinter.dat""
  
• successfully tested this setting on my account and it works as expected, importing the correct settings
  
• pushed out the driver and setup the printer via intune - this works fine and have been doing it a while
  
• added the line printui.exe /Sr /n "School Printer" /a "SchoolPrinter.dat"
  
• Intune reports success, the driver and printer installs fine, but settings are not applied
  
• 
  

 

The only thing I can think is that they are user based settings, and it is applying them only to the service context under which the script is running. Does this sound plausible? If so is there any way around this using Intune? I can't think of one? An Intune script under the user context wouldn't work as they don't have permissions.

In case anyone is interested... I have found a workaround for this which involves:

 

Pushing out drivers and setting up print queues as an application in Intune (this runs at Machine Level)

Running a Proactive Remediation that:

- Checks that the print queue is installed (we add a short text file as part of the application install)

- Checks whether remediation has taken place on this workstation for the particular user (looks for a text file in c:\PrintSettings\username.txt)

- If not remediation takes place, a .dat file is imported and a text file created as above (this ensures remediation only takes place once)

 

This seems to be working great. If anyone would like further details on the scripts I would be more than happy to share. The above allows us to easily push out print drivers and any default settings we would like.

Hi, I would appreciate these instructions, as i find myself in a similar situation.

Older post, but hoping you're still able to drag out the steps for this process.
