Hello!<\/p>\n
Seeking some advice here…<\/p>\n
We have numerous Ricoh printers around our offices. They all use Kofax and Equitrac in order for the Follow-You function to work. Across one of our offices 2 of them live on Server A and across our other office 10+ live on Server B.<\/p>\n
At present we have to manually install by going to \\ServerA or \\ServerB select the printer, install with our admin details.<\/p>\n
We’re trying to find a way that we can push these printers out without having to go machine by machine installing via our admin details.<\/p>\n
I’ve done some digging and can’t really find any documentation / guides out there. I’m sure this is a standard practice for many large organisations. I would be grateful if someone would be able to assist in a way to do this?<\/p>\n
Ideally we’d like to push this out via Intune and Company Portal, but if that isn’t an option we’d look at GPO.<\/p>\n
Thanks in advance!<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"answerCount":5,"datePublished":"2024-11-11T10:48:05.591Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Swoles","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Swoles"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
It’s been a long time since I used Equitrac but, if it works like I think it might, this is what I suggest:<\/p>\n
You should be able to install the each printer on your print server (this is what we do for the follow-me printers we’ve deployed). Then you can use the “Deploy with Group Policy” option on the printer object and use GP to push the printers to the applicable devices/users.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2024-11-11T13:19:06.565Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/push-out-follow-you-printer-to-entire-network/1140480/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"it-monkey-mike","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/it-monkey-mike"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

I was at a place where I created a GPO so users would get a printer based on their assigned location. People at location xyz would be in an OU called xyz and get GPOs based on that. It made printer deployment much easier because if people changed locations they got appropriate printers, without admin involvement.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2024-11-11T13:38:33.334Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/push-out-follow-you-printer-to-entire-network/1140480/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"randomparts","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/randomparts"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Would this bypass the need for admin credentials for installation of drivers?<\/p>\n
Currently I’m looking at trying to get a script together for the .inf file of the drivers which will install for the users and then we can push the printers out via an Intune Policy. But having no joy with the powershell script!<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2024-11-11T13:51:29.119Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/push-out-follow-you-printer-to-entire-network/1140480/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Swoles","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Swoles"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
