Adding Network printers giving Printer Model Name instead of the Shared Name

I am trying to add the network printers to all intune-managed machines using Powershell Scripts deployed via Intune.

The problem I am facing is that the printers are getting added to the machines but with their model name and not by their shared name.

For example for Printer queue like Alz-colour, the printer is showing the Model name like Ricoh etc.

So please help. Thanks.

This really has nothing to do with Intune as all Intune does is deliver the script. What the script does or doesn't do is up to that script and the capabilities of Windows. Because of this, I'm adding a Windows tag and removing all of the Intune tags (except one as the chosen tags are completely unrelated).

Hard to say without seeing the actual script, but you can refer to the following blog. intune-configure-printers-for-non.html

Thanks Rahul.

The script was a one liner-

add-printer -connectionname \\servername\printersharedname

That should have worked as far as I know but have you tried configuring using device restriction policy?

It is working but I am getting the printer model name instead of the Printer shared name.
