Im not sure exactly what you're asking but let me explain what im doing with the install.. The following command only installs the driver itself. No printer device will be listed in the printer control panel. The reason for me installing all those drivers is that once they are loaded you don't have to have admin rights to change over to different drivers. To explain this further if you were to go to the properties of the printer device and selected the Advanced Tab in the Driver field the drop down will list all the drivers that were installed. (all one line) start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Lexmark T632" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmaag2da.inf Then you have to actually install the printer device to show up in the printer control panel. (all one line) start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /Z /b "Laser" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmaag2da.inf /r "lpt1:" /m "Lexmark T632" As for loading actual printer settings which I believe is what you are asking for I haven't gone that far since we have too many different types of printers to set on a master image. Although i would like to know if it does work.. i might try that on the next reload but for now its time for me to go home...

Another correction... rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?

Sorry for the rush working on to many things at once... you can use the /q to make the install quiet which i have taken out of the last post for testing purposes. Also i have been sucessfull in installing network printers but only using windows xp or 2000 standard tcip ports. This will list all the option rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /h

this is how i install my driver not sure if you guys alread know this..... one install the printer drivers only then i install the actual printer device. I hope this helps some ECHO ***** Printer Driver Install ***** ECHO T632 start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Lexmark T632" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmaag2da.inf ECHO T630 start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Lexmark T630" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmaag2da.inf ECHO T522 start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Lexmark T522" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmpcl2a.inf ECHO T614 start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Lexmark Optra T614" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmpcl2a.inf ECHO S1855 start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Lexmark Optra S 1855" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f c:\lexmark\drivers\win_2000\lmpcl2a.inf ECHO Generic / Text Only start /wait rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Generic / Text Only" /h "intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f "%windir%\inf\ntprint.inf" ECHO.
