Setting the policy provides configurations for enterprise printers bound to devices. Its format matches the Printers dictionary, with an additional required "id" or "guid" field for each printer for allow listing or deny listing. The file size can't exceed 5MB and is in JSON format. A file with about 21,000 printers encodes as a 5MB file. The cryptographic hash helps verify download integrity. The file is downloaded, cached, and redownloaded when the URL or the hash changes. Google Chrome OS downloads the file for printer configurations and makes printers available along with DevicePrintersAccessMode, DevicePrintersAllowlist, and DevicePrintersBlocklist.
This policy:
* doesn't affect whether users can configure printers on individual devices
* supplements PrintersBulkConfiguration and individual users' printer setups
If unset, there are no device printers, and the other DevicePrinter* policies are ignored.
