I need to deploy my printer from my server. I have the driver part figured out, but how do I get the software to deploy itself with the GPO.
What, if any, else do I need? Software, settings, etc.

I have to ask how many computers you are planning to deploy this to. This product is a small office/home office level product and not designed for the volume demands of multiple users. Also in my experience, relying on the desktop software when dealing with multiple users is troublesome because someone will load a document and someone else clicks scan and the wrong documents wind up in the wrong place. I would revisit your policies and consider using scan to folder, but that is just my opinion.

What software? In a server environment I would use the scan to folder function not desktop scanning or scan to email.

I guess I was a bit vague.
Goal: Deploy printer and all its functionality to all computers in an OU.
That means obviously deploying all necessary drivers to the computers, and then any scan and OCR software, set up in a way that no local touch is needed for its use.
I need the local package on the computers for policy reasons.

It's a four-user local office, so not too big for the printer. It's replacing an old Brother entry-level printer that died of old age.
I will try to get the upstairs to accept a policy change and, start to implement scan folders. Hopefully, they will accept a finished solution.
