1a) Hi, I can add printers ok locally and remotely using
printui.dll, but one has to have a port in place, i have
read other threads and they use the registry, I just want
to know if there is an easier way to add the ports.
My way round it is to manually use the add printer
wizzard:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il /b "Test
Printer" /c\\cp1379 /f "%windir%\inf\ntprint.inf" /m "HP
Laserjet 4100 Series PCL"
or manually again use print server properties
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /s /t1 /n\\cp1379
then add the printer using /r with a hp hostname
rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /if /b "TP3" /c\\cp1379 /f "%
windir%\inf\ntprint.inf" /r npi3d3a02 /m "HP Laserjet
4050 Series PCL"

1b) Also /W is supposed to specify flags and switches for
the wizard, but i have searched the internet and cannot
find them! Can TCP/IP ports be added with switches and
hide the whole process from the user?

2) Lastly /y set the printer as default does not seem to
work remotely, does any one know how to set a default
printer on a remote machine?

I've tried:rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Xs /n"HP
LaserJet 4050 Recovery" attributes +default
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /c\\cp1379 /n "tp3"
and variations all fail
