Can SCCM remove print drivers from a deployed PC?
I may be in the wrong community. If so, please point me in the correct direction.
We have roughly 400 printers installed on Server 2012 R2. We are implementing a new Windows print solution due to our 2008 R2 cluster's erratic behavior.
We created a one node development box that is in place for now.
When we switched from the cluster to a stand alone solution, we had about 150 drivers that became corrupted and would not print until we performed a number of steps to remove the "broken" driver package and replace the driver of the same type from our driver store by hand.
1. Select affected printer, go to local driver store to note location of the print driver files
2, Delete existing printer
3. Stop spooler
4. Delete driver files
5. Restart print spooler
6. Run GPUPDATE /FORCE to reapply the printer with a working driver.
Before we go live with our new solution we would like to remove the driver and package using SCCM if possible hoping to avoid the same situation.
Our current deployment method is using Security Groups (memberships) and separate GPOs to push the assigned printer to the proper Windows 7 32 bit OS PCs.
Any ideas?
