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.

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.
