This script will first check if 7zip is installed and if not then install it. Then the script downloads HP Universal PS Driver, installs the driver and then maps a specific printer by IP. 

# Check if 7-Zip is installed
if (!(Test-Path "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe")) {
    Write-Host "7-Zip not found. Downloading and installing..."

    # URL to the 7-Zip installer (MSI) for 64-bit
    $sevenZipUrl = "https://7-zip.org/a/7z2301-x64.msi"
    $sevenZipPath = "C:\Temp\7z2301-x64.msi"

    # Ensure the directory exists
    if (!(Test-Path -Path "C:\Temp")) {
        New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\Temp" | Out-Null
    }

    # Download 7-Zip
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $sevenZipUrl -OutFile $sevenZipPath

    # Install 7-Zip
    Start-Process -FilePath "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/i", $sevenZipPath, "/q", 'INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\7-Zip"' -Wait

    # Check if the installation was successful
    if (Test-Path "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe") {
        Write-Host "7-Zip installed successfully."
    }
    else {
        Write-Host "7-Zip installation failed."
        exit 1
    }
}
# Download the file
$url = "https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/UPD/upd-ps-x64-7.1.0.25570.exe"
$outputPath = "C:\Temp\upd-ps-x64-7.1.0.25570.exe"

# Ensure the directory exists
if (!(Test-Path -Path "C:\Temp")) {
    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\Temp" | Out-Null
}

# Download the file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $outputPath

# Extract the .exe file
& 'C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe' x $outputPath -oC:\HPUniversalPrintDriver

# Add the driver to the system. Change to specific driver required.
pnputil /add-driver "C:\HPUniversalPrintDriver\*.inf" /install

# Add the printer driver to the system. Change to Driver Name if others are needed.
Add-PrinterDriver -Name "HP Universal Printing PS (v7.1.0)"

# Define the printer properties
$printerIP = "192.168.1.1"
$printerPortName = "IP_" + $printerIP
$printerName = "MY-HP-Printer-Name"
$driverName = "HP Universal Printing PS (v7.1.0)" # Specify the exact driver name for your system

# Create a new TCP/IP port for the printer
Add-PrinterPort -Name $printerPortName -PrinterHostAddress $printerIP

# Check if a printer with the same name already exists, if so remove it
if (Get-Printer | Where-Object Name -eq $printerName) {
    Remove-Printer -Name $printerName
}

# Add the printer
Add-Printer -Name $printerName -DriverName $driverName -PortName $printerPortName

# Output success message
Write-Host "Printer $printerName has been installed successfully on port $printerPortName with driver $driverName"
