[Casper] How to send Unix commands via Casper

[Thomas Larkin]

We don't have anything fancy, but typically what I do is set up one
system working with the network printer, then just use ARD admin to copy
the /etc/cups/ppd to all the clients on a subnet and it copies all the
print drivers and settings to each machine.

We use very simple IP printing though, with no print queue or servers
involved and typically only lab computers print to a printer.

Do you find that pushing printers via scripts is superior in some ways
to
pushing printers using the built-in printer tool in Casper?
