Doesn't Work:

Script for Reference:
# Download the latest HP Smart Universal Printing Driver
# Example: upd-pcl6-x64-7.2.0.25780
# Add the driver to the system
pnputil.exe -a $driverInfPath
# Install the printer driver
Add-PrinterDriver -Name "HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v7.2.0)"
# Add Printer Ports
Add-PrinterPort -Name "IP_172.29.101.20" -PrinterHostAddress "172.29.101.20"
Add-PrinterPort -Name "IP2_172.29.101.20" -PrinterHostAddress "172.29.101.20"

# Attempt to set printer property (not working)
Set-PrinterProperty -PrinterName "Grotto-HPE78625 - Color" -PropertyName "Config:DynamicRender" -Value "COLORDEVICE"
# Restart Print Spooler Service
Restart-Service -Name Spooler
Issue:
- When the printer is set up on-network and can communicate with the printer, it successfully pulls the configuration information and works as expected.
- However, when deploying printers to machines working from home (WFH), the installation cannot communicate with the printer during setup. This results in issues such as:
- Missing printer capabilities (e.g., color printing, finishing options like stapler, hole punch, extra trays).
I have been unable to figure out the commands to use. We've tried the Smart Universal Print Driver with different results but separate unrelated glitches.
