I'm distributing all of our printers via GPO instead.. That's been working flawlessly, so I don't see the needs of using PowerShell.

sure I could do that as well and have a few customers doing that, I'm looking for a zero server touch however, and the ability to bring a new printer into a company and not have to touch the server, I have an onboarding task that does all my pc setup, so I want to add printers this way, little more up front work but once done I can get a call from any office, hay ken we just purchsed an HP xyx printer can you come set it up on my computer. CLICK done 

 

I've added 3 printers already I can do this with at any office, I've even managed to scan the network for the likely IP address of the printer, get its name and add a port by printer name. its clunky right now but heading in the correct direction.

How did you add?  Can you please provide sample script if one was used?  We have a print server.

We do not run active directory so it would be a help for us to be able to distribute the printers in this way.
