Solve : Installing local printer from network using command line with a silent installer?

Answer»

I am primarily a hardware guy but now been faced with having to change our printing from the server to local printing due to a new application we are using.

I am writing a script to load the ini/inf files on the computers. I have pretty much resolved this issue.

I have downloaded the version 8 dymo printer DRIVER and can use the silent install which I prefer. I have the dymo.exe file in the path as listed below.

T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Other\dymo\Dymo XP-7-8 8.5\DLS8Setup.8.5.0.exe

I can run the silent installer locally C:\Dymo>DLS8Setup.8.5.0 /s with no issues.

I need assistance with the correct command line info such a net use install runas what ever to NAVIGATE to the mapped drive and kick off the silent installer as works from the local machine. I have searched the WORLD over and have not found my answer. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

NetcruznMaybe I am not understanding you but the syntax should be no different running the installer from your hard drive or from a network drive.

Network drive
"T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Other\dymo\Dymo XP-7-8 8.5\DLS8Setup.8.5.0.exe" /S
Local Drive
"C:\Dymo\DLS8Setup.8.5.0.exe" /sThank you and you are correct. I am a moron....... I had my head so wrapped around this rundll32 printui.dll, printuientry stuff for a script I was working on, I was making it more than what it was. THANK You for the slap in the face. Sometimes I guess we all need it from TIME to time. And yes that got me what I needed.

I had a moment with an FTP script yesterday. Couldn't figure out why it wouldn't automate. Helps if you use the correct options. I do it all the time every day but yesterday that brain cell must have gotten stuck in the off position. Happens to all of us.BTW Squash didn't slap you...he simply tapped you on the shoulder...
