Native Printing

Configures a list of printers.

This policy allows administrators to provide printer configurations for
their users.

display_name and description are free form strings that can be customized for ease of printer selection. manufacturer and model serve to ease printer identification by end users. They represent the manufacturer and model of the printer. uri should be an address reachable from a client computer including the scheme, port, and queue. uuid is optional. If provided, it is used to help deduplicate zeroconf printers.

effective_model must match one of the strings which represent a Google Chrome OS supported printer. The string will be used to identify and install the appropriate PPD for the printer. More information can be found at https://support.google.com/chrome?p=noncloudprint.

Printer setup is completed upon the first use of a printer. PPDs are not
downloaded until the printer is used. After that time, frequently used
PPDs are cached.

This policy has no effect on whether users can configure printers on
individual devices. It is intended to be supplementary to the
configuration of printers by individual users.
