Good morning,

I am looking to create a package to automatically deploy our Toshiba printers.

The driver is a unified driver package that I cannot use in creating a Python package, so I wanted to use the printer import package which seems to allow retrieving the configuration of a printer already deployed on a workstation.

When I try to run it, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

*** Remote Interpreter Reinitialized ***
Command Line : update-package-sources "C:\waptdev\gip-printer-import_20.1.2-8_windows_6.0_PROD\WAPT\.."

Is this a known problem?

Hello,
I've just pushed a patch to the package; this should fix it.

Regards,
