How to Determine Print Drivers Being Used in Uniprint

Uniprint Administrators can determine the print driver type and version that are actively being used in print queues via the Pharos Administrator.

Navigate to Output Management > Queues:

From Windows Print Management, Admins can view if a print driver is present on the server.

Open Windows Print Management, navigate to Print Servers > YourServer > Drivers

From Windows Print Management you can see all Printer Objects that are using the “PharosSecurePort”.

Open Windows Print Management, navigate to Print Servers > YourServer > Ports.

Here is a PS script to get Uniprint Drivers for Printers that are configured to use the PharosSecurePort:

Get-Printer | Where-Object { $_.PortName -like 'PharosSecurePort*' } | ForEach-Object {
    $printer = $_
    Write-Host "Processing printer: $($printer.Name) on port: $($printer.PortName)" # Debug line
    $driver = Get-PrinterDriver -Name $printer.DriverName
    # Check if the driver exists for the printer and if it is an HP driver
    if ($driver -and $driver.Name -match 'HP') {
        [PSCustomObject]@{
            PrinterName = $printer.Name
            DriverName = $driver.Name
            DriverVersion = ($driver.DriverVersion | ForEach-Object {
                $ver = $_
                (3..0 | ForEach-Object { ($ver -shr ($_ * 16)) -band 0xffff }) -join '.'
            })
        }
    } elseif ($driver) {
        Write-Host "Skipping non-HP driver: $($driver.Name) for printer: $($printer.Name)" # Debug line
    } else {
        Write-Host "No driver found for printer: $($printer.Name)" # Debug line
    }
}

Note: If you do not install the "Named Version" when installing the driver, you will get the result as HP Universal Print PCL 6.
