Adding Printer driver VIA Script

[ItIsSolutions]

I have written my script as shown below however it will not install the printer driver. I downloaded the driver for the HP2430 into c:\24x0 however when i run this script i get a Win32 error code 2.
I do very little scripting and am looking for some help.
Thank you

cscript c:\windows\system32\prndrvr.vbs -a -m "HP LaserJet 2430 PCL 6" -v 3 -e "Windows NT x86" -h "C:\24x0" -i "C:\24x0\hpc24x0c.inf"

Wow thank you for your quick response however I had tried that before and it gives me a Win32 error code 87.

Code 2 was file was missing. Code 87 is related.

Try:

%systemroot%\system32\cscript %systemroot%\system32\prndrvr.vbs -a -m "HP LaserJet 2430 PCL 6" -h "C:\\24x0\\" -i "C:\\24x0\\hpc24x0c.inf"

Rewritten as your very own .vbs script:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")

Set objDriver = objWMIService.Get("Win32_PrinterDriver")
objDriver.Name = "HP LaserJet 2430 PCL 6"
objDriver.FilePath = "C:\\24x0\\"
objDriver.InfName = "C:\\24x0\\hpc24x0.inf"
objDriver.SupportedPlatform = "Windows NT x86"
objDriver.Version = "3"
errResult = objDriver.AddPrinterDriver(objDriver)
wscript.echo errResult

Worked Great even changing my driver location.

But I have 1 more long question and have not started searching yet but here goes.

This 2430 has tray 3 installed on it and tray 3 is also the tray that I would like to be set as default input tray.

1. I would like tray 3 to show up as installed when the printer is initally installed.
2. I would like tray 3 set as default input tray when the printer is initally installed.

Any direction someone could point me to would be great.
