Doesn't Work:

Set-PrinterProperty -PrinterName "Grotto-HPE78625 - Color" -PropertyName "Config:DynamicRender" -Value "COLORDEVICE"

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"

# Add Printers

Add-Printer -Name "Grotto-HPE78625 - B&W" -DriverName $DriverName -PortName "IP_172.29.101.20"

Add-Printer -Name "Grotto-HPE78625 - Color" -DriverName $DriverName -PortName "IP2_172.29.101.20"

# Configure printers for single-sided printing

Set-PrintConfiguration -PrinterName "Grotto-HPE78625 - B&W" -DuplexingMode "OneSided"

Set-PrintConfiguration -PrinterName "Grotto-HPE78625 - Color" -DuplexingMode "OneSided"

# 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.
