HP LaserJet 4 Silent

[eagle00789]

I want to silently install my HP Laserjet 4 (PCL5e) printer using the buildin printers of windows xp. i haven't found any solution to my problem. can you give me the help on this problem.

If it is connected to the PC, then XP should install it. If it is shared from another PC, then you can use a VB script to install it.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\server\HPLaserJ"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath

well. it's connected to this pc, but is always turned off when not in use (don't print that often, but when i Print, it is a lot at once). so any solution to that, so that it will install Silently, even when turned off??

Why don't you just install Windows while your printer is turned on? Then Windows _should_ recognize and install it. (Although I haven't tested it myself yet)
