Installing Printer

[amoss24]

im trying to automate installing a network printer.

The installation starts ok and installs the driver but once the driver is installed i get an error.

RUNDLL32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "\\pcprint\lw7th" /r "128.40.42.150" /f "%windir%\inf\ntprint.inf" /m "HP LaserJet 5000 Series PS"

the error windows gives is -> error is invalid arguments

The printer is set up correctly, you can install it manually and print to it without any problems.

Question: Why not simply integrate the driver files instead of trying to run an install?

If I run your command i get the following error:

Operation could not be completed.  Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help.

Which is from /b "\\pcprint\lw7th", printer display names cannot contain \'s.

Also you need to create the Standard TCP/IP port before installing.
