What I meant was that any approach that does not use an INF to install the
printer and driver is not recommended. This was the reason for alternative
programmatic install methods such as rundll32 printui being provided on W2K
onwards. But there is no recommended way to install print drivers on NT4.
The only way to achieve programmatic install on NT4, although it is not
recommended, is via AddPrinterDriver and AddPrinter. But as you saw, you
run into problems with this approach such as requiring the core driver
binaries and so on.
