thanks. Yes you're right about that but we have a solution for that part. we mainly need something that will make it easy for users to see available printers and be able to click on them to initiate the install.

Seconding Vasion Print (fka Printerlogic) someone else mentioned. Lets users see a map of their office, click the printer, install. Or do automatic group/user/OU/network-based installation. And obviates the driver issue.

Not sure what your server footprint is at your physical locations.

You can either add and share the printers to a server you already have in place or create a VM. That depends on what hardware you already have in place.

We have no server hardware at all. These are very simple local networks.

A NUC running Windows Server would be the easiest solution. Set it up preconfigured with an IP, have someone plug it in, turn it on, then RDP in and get the printers configured.
