Printer User Interface (PrintUIEntry) |
|
|
I am trying to install a new network printer in our department and want to
script the installation for all clients. I have followed the instructions at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314486
however the installation is unsuccessful. I recieve the following error
'Operation could not be completed. Cannot locate a suitable printer driver.
Contact your network administrator...'. Below are the detail and the syntax
I am using with the printui utility.
Printer Dell 5100cn
Driver location on local system: C:\testp
Command file name: pinstall.cmd
Contains of pinstall.cmd:
@ECHO
REM

regedit /s "C:\testp\5100cnreg.reg"
REM # Restart the spooler service
net stop spooler
net start spooler

"%windir%\inf\ntprint.inf" /q /r "%SERVER%:math231chp-g" /m "%DRIVER%" /z /u
pause
This process generates the error noted above even thought the driver file is
defined.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

Thanks for the post Cari,
Unfortunately this article appears to be another method of installing a
printer (shared printer via UNC) and does not address driver installation. I
am looking to install an TCP/IP port based printer where the drivers are not
included in drivers.cab as part of the OS.
Thank you for your suggestion, but I'll have to keep looking.

Thanks again Cari,
Still not enough information though. I came across an alternative method
of accomplishing what I am trying to do. So far it is working very smoothly.
I found the how-to and subsequent documents at the following location.
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/prndrvr.mspx
Thanks Again.
