Is it possible to deploy printer drivers during the imaging process via task sequence?

[ETx13]

I created the driver package and added it as an install during the imaging process and it seems to have run successfully (checked the logs) but the driver does not show up in Print Management. I'm guessing it's because the printer is a network one and therefore not attached to the device but I'm wondering if it's possible to put the driver on the device so that the user doesn't have to download/install the driver when they go to add printers the first time.

Thanks!

We preload Lexmark drivers in our task sequence so yes it’s possible. What happens when you try and map the networked printer? Have you checked to make sure the driver files are indeed present on the device after imaging?

Would you like to install the driver or copy it to a directory for later?

I copy some drivers for various printers to a directory during my TS so that they are readily available for our support guys to install IF required.
