Mac Deployment AirPrint EFI E100 Printer with Mosyle

Well, the Foigus Autopkg driver I ‘built‘ in 2019 using this article finally stopped working in macOS Monterey. And I wasn’t sure the same process would work or be very durable this time around… After asking around (and thanks to Foigus for answering my questions) I thought I’d try something new, and it worked, so here is the method… Here’s
