Printer install with nLite?


Recommended Posts

Posted

After installing XP Home from an nLite ISO, Windows' Found New Hardware Wizard pops up to install the found HP722C Deskjet printer. If I cancel the wizard, I have no printer and the wizard reappears each time I start Windows. If I follow the Wizard's steps, it offers two printers: 720C and 722C. Both drivers are digitally signed. When I select the 722C printer, it installs the printer and driver. The question is why is it even starting the wizard when everything is available? Everything I've read indicates that Windows should automatically install a local printer if teh drivers are included so I'm having trouble finding information on making it do something it's supposed to do on its own.

After the installation, the files driver.cab and sp2.cab are located in C:\Windows\Driver Cache\I386 and the file ntprint.inf is in C:\Windows\inf. That should be all that's needed, I think.

Is there something I'm missing in nLite to make it install the printer? I haven't removed anything related to printers that I know of.

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
