Setting the policy lets administrators set up a list of printers for their users. Printer selection occurs the first time users try to print.
Using the policy:
* Customize free-form <ph name="PRINTER_DISPLAY_NAME">display_name</ph> and <ph name="PRINTER_DESCRIPTION">description</ph> for ease of printer selection.
* Help users identify printers using <ph name="PRINTER_MANUFACTURER">manufacturer</ph> and <ph name="PRINTER_MODEL">model</ph>.
* <ph name="PRINTER_URI">uri</ph> should be an address reachable from a client computer, including the <ph name="URI_SCHEME">scheme</ph>, <ph name="URI_PORT">port</ph>, and <ph name="URI_QUEUE">queue</ph>.
* Optionally provide <ph name="PRINTER_UUID">uuid</ph> to help deduplicate <ph name="ZEROCONF_DISCOVERY">zeroconf</ph> printers.
* Either use the model name for <ph name="PRINTER_EFFECTIVE_MODEL">effective_model</ph> or set <ph name="PRINTER_AUTOCONF">autoconf</ph> to True. Printers with both or no properties get ignored.
PPDs are downloaded after the printer is used, and frequently used PPDs are cached. This policy doesn't affect whether users can configure printers on individual devices.
Note: For <ph name="MS_AD_NAME">Microsoft® Active Directory®</ph> managed devices, this policy supports expansion of <ph name="MACHINE_NAME_VARIABLE">${MACHINE_NAME[,pos[,count]]}</ph> to the <ph name="MS_AD_NAME">Microsoft® Active Directory®</ph> machine name or a substring of it. For example, if the machine name is <ph name="MACHINE_NAME_EXAMPLE">CHROMEBOOK</ph>, then <ph name="MACHINE_NAME_VARIABLE_EXAMPLE">${MACHINE_NAME,6,4}</ph> gets replaced by the 4 characters starting after the 6th position, in other words, <ph name="MACHINE_NAME_PART_EXAMPLE">BOOK</ph>. The position is zero-based.
This policy is deprecated, please use <ph name="PRINTERS_POLICY_NAME">Printers</ph> instead.
