The following command will replicate the drivers whos name start with “hp uni” to the servers specified at the end of the command. The -confoirm at the end lets you confirm that each driver will be replicated or not:

Manual Replication:
Start-XAPrinterDriverReplication -drivername “hp uni*” -sourceservername desk05 -servername desk01,desk07 -confirm

Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?

[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is “Y”): y

Automatic Replication:
The following command will allow for a driver to be added to an autoreplicated driver list:
Add-XAAutoReplicatedPrinterDriver -DriverName “HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.1)” -SourceServerName desk05

DriverName                                         ServerName                                 Overwrite
———-                                                  ———-                                          ———
HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.1)      DESK05                                          False

The following should then be run to push the driver out to each of the servers requiring the drivers:
Get-XAPrinterDriver -ServerName deskXX

Removing a Driver from the Auto-Replication List:
Remove-XAAutoReplicatedPrinterDriver –DriverName “HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.1)” –ServerName XASource (Where XAServer is a server that has the driver installed on)
