Pushing Print Drivers.

[pmidwest]

Is anyone aware of a way of scripting print driver installs?

I have 9 new servers and about 100 different printer drivers I need to get installed on each of them. Is there a way to put them all in one folder and have a script that I can run from my PC push/install the drivers on the remote servers?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

P.

how do you install one printer driver into windows?
there is a

RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 C:\WINDOWS\INF\SHELL.INF

which might help if your drivers are .INF files??

do a

objFolder = FSO.GetFOlder(",.,,,")
For Each aFile In objFolder.Files
If LCase(Right(aFile.Name, 4)) = ".inf" Then
WshShell.Run "rundll32.exe.....etc " & aFile.Name, 1, True
End If
Next

anyway

RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection 132 C:\drivers\hp\lj2430\hpc24x0c.inf

I get an install failed error when using this code. is there something wrong with the code?

1. your string is not the same as the one i posted you are missing a DefaultInstall
