The optional filter argument limits output to printers that match. The optional todrive argument creates a Google Sheet of the printer models rather than outputing CSV. ### Example This example prints available models. ``` gam print printermodels manufacturer,displayName,makeAndModel ... Apple,Apple 12/640ps,apple 12/640ps Apple,Apple Color StyleWriter 1500,apple color stylewriter 1500 Apple,Apple Color StyleWriter 2200,apple color stylewriter 2200 Apple,Apple Color StyleWriter 2400,apple color stylewriter 2400 Apple,Apple Color StyleWriter 2500,apple color stylewriter 2500 Apple,Apple ImageWriter,apple imagewriter Apple,Apple ImageWriter II,apple imagewriter ii Apple,Apple ImageWriter LQ,apple imagewriter lq Apple,Apple LaserWriter 16/600,apple laserwriter 16/600 Apple,Apple LaserWriter 4/600,apple laserwriter 4/600 Apple,Apple LaserWriter IIg,apple laserwriter iig Apple,Apple LaserWriter Pro 630,apple laserwriter pro 630 ... ``` ---- ## Printing Printers ### Syntax ``` gam print printers [filter ] [todrive] ``` Prints a CSV list of the printers configured in your organization. The optional argument filter limits the output to matching printers. The optional argument todrive creates a Google Sheet of the results rather than outputting it to the console or a file. ### Example This example prints your printers. ``` gam print printers name,id,displayName,makeAndModel,uri,createTime,orgUnitId,orgUnitPath customers/C01wfv983/chrome/printers/0gjdgxs3dgp3kj,0gjdgxs3dgp3kj,Brother MFC-L3770CDW,brother mfc-l3770cdw series,ipp://192.168.86.3:631/ipp/print,2019-12-10T17:40:18.930Z,03w261t745aficu,/ ... ``` ---- ## Creating a Printer ### Syntax ``` gam create printer displayname description [makeandmodel ] [driverless] [orgunit ] [uri ] ``` Creates a new printer. Displayname and description are visible to the user. You must either specify a makeandmodel which matches a makeandmodel from the [listing printer models[#listing-printer-models] output or driverless which tells Chrome OS to attempt to detect the device type and features using standard protocols (this may be a good option if you can't find an exact makemodel match). orgunit specifies the location of the printer in the Google console. uri specifies the protocol and address of the printer. ### Example This example would allow you to print to my home printer if you were in my home. ``` gam create printer displayname "Jay's Printer" description "Upstairs" makeandmodel "Brother MFC-L3770CDW" orgunit / uri ipp://192.168.86.3:631/ipp/print ``` ---- ## Updating a Printer ### Syntax ``` gam update printer displayname description [makeandmodel ] [driverless] [orgunit ] [uri ] ``` Updates a printer's configuration. The arguments are identical to the create command. You can update a printers uri if it's address or protocol should be changed and you can change to a different printer makeandmodel or to driverless as preferred. ### Example This example switches my home printer to using driverless. ``` gam update printer 0gjdgxs3dgp3kj driverless ``` ---- ## Displaying Info About a Printer ### Syntax ``` gam info printer ``` Shows information about the specified printer. ### Example This example shows information about my printer ``` gam info printer 0gjdgxs3dgp3kj name: customers/C01wfv983/chrome/printers/0gjdgxs3dgp3kj id: 0gjdgxs3dgp3kj displayName: Brother MFC-L3770CDW makeAndModel: brother mfc-l3770cdw series uri: ipp://192.168.86.3:631/ipp/print createTime: 2019-12-10T17:40:18.930Z orgUnitId: 03w261t745aficu orgUnitPath: / ``` ---- ## Deleting a Printer ### Syntax ``` gam delete printer id1,id2 | file | csvfile ``` Deletes one or more printers. ### Example This example delete's my printer. ``` gam delete printer 0gjdgxs3dgp3kj ```
