In a Windows environment, we utilize an HP Universal Driver to provide "many" features for print processing regardless of model specific ones. I'm researching moving as many printers to IPP deployment as we can to avoid this. Hopping on the bandwagon here with the same issue.
If anyone knows how I can locate and package the driver files on my machine I would be most appreciative. So I do not believe it actually installed the drivers. If I try to manually add a printer, the "installed" driver from that package does not appear as one of the driver options available to me.
It sees the embedded printer icon from the driver but it does not appear to actually be using the driver. However, when I push that out to my test machine it does not seem to install everything. It also found the folder /Library/Printers/hp and packaged all of that. I have run Composer before and after this printer install and it finds the ppd file.

So you can see why I gave up trying to get the drivers from them. You cannot download anyone's drivers for Mac. I have been assured that nobody in the printer industry does that. I did try reaching out to HP customer support twice for help in getting just a copy of the divers but that seems to be impossible. I need to find a way of packaging the drivers that got installed on my machine so that I can upload them to JAMF instead. Instead you can only download an install assistant called Easy_Start.app which will go out and download the drivers for you, install the printer you need, then remove downloaded drivers, thus leaving you without a copy of them to use in JAMF. HP has decided to not make their drivers available. The issue I have is getting the drivers up into JAMF. I have uploaded the ppd files and I have policies to push out the printers etc. I am trying to advertise some printers in Self Service and cannot get the drivers. I have searched for a discussion about this and not find this problem, so I am raising a new twist on and old issue.
