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.
