Silent Printer Installs

Recommended Posts

I have been trying to work out how to silently installing printers on Windows XP and have created a batch file that does the following

@echo off
color 4e
cls

echo Installing Printers
regedit /S ignoredriversigning.reg
cd "\Drivers\Printers\Kyocera\Win2K_XP\"

echo IT Dept Printer
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /w /b "FS3800" /x /n "part of the n switch" /if /f "Z:\Drivers\Printers\Kyocera\Win2K_XP\oemsetup.inf" /r "http://10.10.10.10:631/printers/KyFS3800" /m "Kyocera Mita FS-3800 KX"

rem a bunch of other printer install stings

regedit /S warnaboutdrivers.reg

while the reg files contain

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=hex:00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing]
"BehaviorOnFailedVerify" = dword:00000000

(the activate one has "1" values

However when installing the Kyocera Mita drivers i still get the message telling me the drivers havn't passed the windows logo testing programme, how can I surpress these, and where am i going wrong?

Everything works apart from having to allow each driver in turn.

(n.b. paths and names changed for security, the reg files have fully qualiifed paths)

Drat, just noticed that the Kyocera Mita optional components wizard runs at the end of each profile...

Now to work how to stop that happening (or even better install all the profiles and nothing else).
