Add a supported-hardware section listing the nine exact -Model driver names from TX-40006.INF, why Generic Plus doesn't cover plotters, and what the build prunes; add a deploy example with -Model "Canon TM-300". adding-a-printer gets two new checks learned from this archive: prefer the driver-only download (Canon's full package is an online installer with no INF), and check Class= in each INF's [Version], since not every INF in a driver archive is a printer driver. |

intune-printer-packages
Nix build pipeline that packages printer drivers into reusable Microsoft
Intune Win32 (.intunewin) apps — one package per driver series, deployed
to as many printers as you like with per-printer arguments at install time.
🎯 What it does
- 📦 One
.intunewinper driver series (e.g. HP UPD PCL6, UTAX/Kyocera KX), not per printer — build once, reuse it for every printer that uses that driver. - 🖨 Printer identity (name, IP, model) is supplied as install-command arguments when you create the Win32 app in Intune, not baked into the package.
- 🔍 Detection is a plain registry-key check — no detection script needed per printer.
- ❄ Runs everywhere Nix does — Linux and macOS, x86_64 and ARM alike —
including a from-scratch reimplementation of the
.intunewinformat, so there's no Windows build agent anywhere in the pipeline. - 🔒 Driver binaries are fetched from the vendor at build time and pinned by hash — never committed to this repo.
📖 Documentation
Everything else lives on this repo's Wiki
— architecture and the .intunewin format, building and pinning driver
hashes, deploying to Intune, adding a new vendor, and the CI/release setup.
Kept in sync automatically from this repo's docs/ folder on every push to
main.
⚡ Quick start
nix develop # or: direnv allow
nix build .#all # every vendor/series
See the Wiki's Building page for pinning driver hashes, Deploying
for the Intune-side setup, and Supported Printers for which -Model
values each vendor accepts.
