Shell scripts largely based on code available at the Munki wiki, under "Related Tasks: Managing Printers with Munki" by Walter Myer, SUNY Purchase © 2010 and Nick McSpadden, 2013

download via:

$ git clone https://github.com/binkleybloom/Printer_pkginfo_Wizard

There are two required components:

• the process.py script
• the supportFiles directory and its unmodified contents - must be in the same directory as process.py

On the machine that you will be running the tool from, you will need:

1. A current installation of Munki - downloadable from https://github.com/munki/munki/releases
2. The printer installed on the machine where you run this tool. It needs to be configured as you would like it deployed - this includes the drivers, how it is named, location information, duplex / paper trays / staple output options configured... you get the idea. This information gets pulled for the deployment.

Then, just cd to the directory with the tool, fire it off with './process.py' and follow the directions. At the end, it should provide you with a .plist file suitable for inclusion in your repository.

Note: I have made assumptions based on my own environment that may not match yours - predominately regarding how Active Directory print queues are used. This is a very large area of "YMMV".
