Command line install of INF-based OEM Printer driver for local printer in NT4
Posted by Daniel Wyness on July 21st, 2003


Hello,

Does anyone know of a utility that can add printer drivers in an automated
way in NT 4.0? The printer drivers would be INF-based (ie: non SETUP.EXE)
and would not be a printer listed in NT's native drivers. The printers
would be local printers (not network).

I know you can do this using:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry ....etc etc...

in Windows 2000 and XP, but cannot find a way or a utility that will do this
for Windows NT 4.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also changing the default printer in
an automated way would be useful too.

Many thanks
