Custom Printers
Published by Apple, Inc.
Configure Custom Printers settings to automate printer deployment and driver installation across Mac endpoints, ensuring users have immediate access to network printers, department-specific devices, and specialized print equipment without manual configuration. This profile enables IT administrators to define printer queues with specific PPD files, deploy manufacturer drivers, set default printer preferences, and control deployment methods including continuous enforcement for mandatory printers, one-time installation for initial setup, or optional availability through Self Service for user-selected devices. Custom Printers eliminates printing support tickets by standardizing printer configurations, maintaining driver consistency across the organization, and providing seamless print infrastructure access from the moment devices are deployed.
Configure Ethernet network interface settings for Mac devices to control wired network connectivity and behavior. Define parameters such as network protocols, proxy configurations, DNS settings, and 802.1X authentication for secure network access. Deploy this profile to standardize Ethernet configurations across managed Macs, enforce network security policies, or ensure consistent connectivity in enterprise environments. Essential for organizations managing wired network infrastructure and requiring centralized control over network interface settings on macOS systems.
Configure power management and energy-saving settings for Mac devices to optimize battery life and reduce energy consumption. Control sleep timers, display sleep intervals, hard disk sleep behavior, and wake-on-network settings for both battery and AC power states. Deploy this profile to enforce consistent power policies across your devices, extend battery longevity on portable devices, or ensure devices remain available for remote management tasks. Ideal for organizations seeking to balance energy efficiency with operational requirements or comply with sustainability initiatives.
