Hi, we recently purchased some windows devices in the company and now need to connect them to the network printers. Configuring each device manually is taking a lot of time. Is there an easy way to do this?

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.

Hi @famk_e,

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

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.
