Install Printers and Copiers is a tiny script that installs printers and copiers entirely through Powershell.

If deployed remotely, it is entirely silent. We use it with PDQ Deploy. It sometimes works with Windows 7 (it doesn't have great PS support for printers, so you have to use more difficult methods that easily cause problems), but you shouldn't be using Windows 7 on a network anymore anyway, so YMMV.

Change the default $Repository path to match your environment.

Call the script like this to install a Canon copier, for example:
C:\path\to\InstallPC.ps1 -PrinterName "Accounting Copier" -PrinterAddress "192.168.1.10" -Folder "Canon Copiers" -DriverName "Canon Generic Plus UFR II" -InfFile "Driver\CNLB0MA64.inf"

Or like this to uninstall it:
C:\path\to\InstallPC.ps1 -PrinterName "Accounting Copier" -Uninstall
