    Silent install of printer included in WXP

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    No luck so far..

    I'v monitored the files with filemon. I think that I have all the necessary files, but still I'm getting an error at the end of the reinstallation in my current windows.

    Also, another weird thing is: when I'm pointing to ntprint.inf in the %systemroot%\inf file, Win says that the driver is Digitally Signed.. But when copying the same file to another dir, win says that the file is _not_ digitally signed :s

    BUT...

    When ignoring the error at the install. Then I can print without problems.. Even the printer icon in the system properties gives a file error (file not found)

    Silent install of printer included in WXP

    The disks that I have of my HP720 are from the pre W2k era, so no drivers for WXP (and none exists on HP.com neither)

    I've think that I have found a way to do it.. But I need an utility that checks which files are accessed during manual reinstall. I know the existance of such an util, but I can't find it.. Hints anyone ? I am checking Tucows now, but so far, no succes :'(

    WXP recognizes the printer during the first "real" startup, even when powered off.

    Is it possible to do a silent install of a printerdriver that is already included in windows XP ?

    When I am booting for the first time of my unattended install, windows detects my printer and asks to install it. All I have to do is clicking YES and OK a few times. Isn't it possible to do this thru a simple command or something ?

    Already searched google and MSFN forums, but nothing found

    Printer is a HP 720C and there are no newer drivers @ HP website.

    Is it possible to extract the neccesary files from anywhere, and point OemPnpdrivers-path to the location where i've putted them ?

    Thx

    Windows welcome screen

    that belgisch unattended thing works really well.. I've found it in the reference docs from the deployment tools.

    Also, keep in mind that when u're using an EN version of XP it is "belgian-dutch"

    First i've been using it, but that didn't work.

    As for the 

    AutoConfirm=1
    ConfigureAtLogon=1

    I've already tried that, but no-go :(

    I am using only 3 files for the config

    1 => winnt.sif (as shown)

    2 => oobe thing for adding 2 users

    3 => cmdlines.txt triggering a reg file for some tweaks

    That's all.. Maybe it has something to do with the svp pack file (or something)

    Windows welcome screen

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Hello,

    I've been working on an unattended dvd since a few days now, and it is beginning to work.

    But I'v expiriencing a little problem with 2 things:

    1) i've set the resolution to 1280*1024 (and 800*600) but, when loading windows for the first time (before the welcome part), it always says that windows will adjust the resolution to a value. Altough I've setted it in the winnt.sif file. I tried several thing, but none seem to work.

    2) it _always_ keep showing the windows welcome screen, and the internet connection screen, altough the parameter UnattendedSwitch is set to "yes" or yes, it doesnt' matter

    I tried the setting installdefaultcomponents under networking set to yes, or no. Doesn't seem to help

    Normally I test it with VMWare, but installing straight to a HD doesn't help either

    Here is a copy of my winnt.sif file:
