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?
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. -

Not at a lot of these venues. Actually half the time we can't have any.

Depending on how it is used, but yeah.
