Hi All,
Contribute for the first time. Forgive me though English is unskilled.

After FBA ends, I am installing two printer drivers by hand power now.

After FBA ends, I want to know the method of registering two printers to
printer &FAX automatically.

The printer (2) used is PnP non-correspondence printer.

Thanks and Regards,
 
Koji,

Why don't you componentize both printer drivers?

Regardless of the method you choose, for both drivers you would need to satisfy dependencies. (use Dependency Walker to analyze the
dependencies)
Also, please make sure to copy driver help files to the image. To do that, please clear "Do not copy help files for ..." checkboxes
on Configuration and the components' Settings pages.

For the PnP driver you would only need to copy the files to proper directories at runtime (\windows\inf, \windows\system32,
\windows\system32\drivers).
For non PnP one, you would also need to prepopulate some registry entries. To know the entries, you can install the driver manually
on the same XPe image or XP Pro system and capture all the changes with tools like RegSnap, Inctrl5, Regmon or similar.

Another methods to install the driver would be using console device manager (devcon:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311272) and setting up FBA Generic Command properly.

If after all this any of the driver does not work, please check out its status and installation errors with devcon/Device Manager
and \windows\SetupAPi.log.
