Creating a printer configuration profile
A configuration profile is a CSV text file that defines the configuration properties for multiple printers. Configuration profiles simplify the printer creation and configuration process when you have a large number of printers.
📘 Instructions
A printer configuration profile defines a number of settings, including:
Printer Name
Printer Description/Location Settings
Print Workflows Options
Print Driver Settings
Printer Capabilities
To further simplify the process, you can use printer configuration profiles in conjunction with printer templates. For certain properties, if values are left blank, the server applies the value found in the specified template.
Once you have created a CSV file, you can import that file into the Configuration Manager to create or update printers. For more information on importing a CSV file, see Importing a printer configuration profile into the Configuration Manager.
