OKAY this is stupid. .
You do a FACTORY RESET on Apple, and everything you installed or had was previously there. . .
If you tie it to an apple id, yes.
These aren't though

I should note, that this works just fine to create new printers using an existing driver.
lpadmin -p Printer-Name -L "Printer Location" -E -v lpd://x.x.x.x -o printer-is-shared=false -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/resources/en . . . .."But I'm not sure if it will work for brand new printers on systems that have no drivers on the target system.
Move the ppd to the system first?

Went through the IT budget after many postponements and tons of confusion on the accounting department's side. This is the first time we actually have departmental budgets. I allocated approx. 114K for new hardware at various levels (client PCs, servers, network equipment). My boss, the CFO said that he allocated about 300K, which included upgrading the conference rooms with new AV and comm equipment.
Obviously, 2 conf rooms at our small company are not going need 285K in equipment upgrades.
Why is it that we can't afford to hire a level 1 anymore?

@wrx7m don't feel bad, I've got $400k+ worth of 1:1 physical servers that will be about useless once they become virtual (all 1u, 2.5" backplane). We could have had a level 1 and a substantial raise for me.

This is what I'm looking to do, but all through the ARD Unix console.
I could break it into two parts, a copy file operation, and then all of the Unix parts.
Just seems like a pain.

We have to do the same thing with Powershell for installing windows printers. Install the driver separately from the printer.
I mean it is all in one script. But two steps.

I'm working on writing some scripts to setup new printers on apple devices using ARD and Unix commands.
Not sure how this is going to work but I think it should, assuming I can use scp to copy the driver to the target, mount the installer and then install it all remotely.
Couldn't you use CUPS?
What is this fascination with CUPS? Wasn't someone else trying to do raw printer stuff and I showed clearly that it is not all it takes..
Not to mention, even CUPS tells you to use lpadmin.
I assume it originates from RH's obsession with pushing CUPS in exams.

I'm reminded:
Uncle Charlie : How was church, Charlie? Did you count the house? Turn anybody away?
Young Charlie : No. Room enough for everyone.
Uncle Charlie : Well, I'm glad to hear that. The show's been running such a long time, I thought maybe attendance might be falling off. -
