I resolved the issue. It turned to be an issue that you have the ability to
save configuration settings changed in the xerox printer properties but if
you copy that file into the driver despite being instructed to then I found
the install wouldn't work. Once I went back to black config file everything
worked fine.

this should be signed but Xerox universal driver has 'global' in the name

the driver name is located in the inf file


C:\Test\x2UNIVP.inf

If the drivers are unsigned prndrvr.vbs will not be able to install them.

I think I got the syntax right
csript prndrvr.vbs -a -m "XeroxMultiFunction" -e "Windows NT x86" -v
3 -h C:\Test -i C:\Test\x2UNIVP.inf

except I just a message saying
"Unable to add printer driver XeroxMultifunction Win32 error code 87

Any idea what that means?

I'll try that, but to make things more complicated the driver is a
universal driver support multi brand printers so it doesn't really have
a fixed name

You could add the driver with Prndrvr.vbs, but you still need to use a
valid driver name (-m).

I realized I maybe approxing this wrong. The whole idea here is that
I install this universal driver once and then any printer I add I can
assign this driver.

So would the add inf even be the correct method?

I've got a universal driver that is not included in Windows. My
plan is to pre-deploy this driver onto the O/S and then as we add
the various printer just point to that driver.

I'd prefer to do it this way rather then having to isntall the
driver everytime we add a printer

I've been various commands:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Test Printer" /h "Intel"
/v "Windows 2000 or XP" /f c:\test\x2UNIVP.inf

but everytime I just get the popup "the arguments are invalid"

Any suggestions?
Maybe choking on the /m switch, it's the driver name, look in the
.inf file.
