RUNDLL32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?
and PSEXEC are your friends. Take a look at Tip 4195 at

If there are any troubles: Just post here.

Walter is correct, RUNDLL32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntr
[options][@commandfile] works well.
However my question is how do you specify a different location (netwro
drive) for the printer drivers.

Apri

Hello, April!

The /f parameter tells where to look for the INF. The INF contains the
drivers needed for the printer.
The problem is: PSEXEC is running in the SYSTEM context of the machine. User
SYSTEM is restricted to use NullSessionShares in the network. There are 2
possible remedies:
Place INF (and the rest of the printer drivers) on a NullSessionShare. Be
aware: NullSessionShares are possible security leaks. Never use an existing
share where sensible informations are stored. Access group "Everyone" has to
have Read-Permissions.
Or
copy the printer files to a temporary local directory before running PSEXEC
and let the /f parameter point to this local directory.

Ciao, Walter
