Microsoft printers and scripting

twodogs62

I am in need of a script that would install a ms printer locally but globally for all users of each workstation.

does anyone have a script they could share to get me started?

thanks

Mr.Network

Are you using a MS domain? If so i would recommend group policy for adding the printer and stick it to a OU.

Printui.dll is your friend here. Here's what I've written back in the days. Works in startup scripts. Replace with your own stuff printer/drivers names.

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Xg /n"Canon iR2018 UFRII dLT" /q /f"%temp%\results.txt"

reg export "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Canon iR2018 UFRII LT" %temp%\canon.reg /y
if %errorlevel% == 0 goto end

if %processor_architecture% == AMD64 goto amd-64

regedit /S \\servergw\distr\prn-deploy\port.reg
net stop spooler
net start spooler
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Canon iR2018 UFRII LT" /f "\\servergw\distr\driver\CNLB0R.inf" /r "IP_192.168.0.76" /m "Canon iR2018 UFRII LT" /z /u /q

goto end

:amd-64

regedit /S \\servergw\distr\prn-deploy\vista-7.reg
net stop spooler
net start spooler
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Canon iR2018 UFRII LT" /f "\\servergw\distr\x64\driver\CNLB0RA64.inf" /r "192.168.0.76" /m "Canon iR2018 UFRII LT" /z /u /q

:end

Here is description in Russian, translate using google if it's unclear what script does.
