All,
We've had a heck of a time with scripted printer installs. Worked beautifully for a long time, but now we get some weird errors when we run them off a machine startup script.
So... I figured I could save us some trouble by doing one-time shots from the command line, using the following formula:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\acaddc3\adml1f /c\\chmccormi_lp
\\acaddc3\adml1f is the UNC for a network printer.
\\chmccormi_lp is the UNC for the remote computer on which I'm attempting to install the network printer.
I've triple-checked and I am an administrator on the CHMCCORMI_LP computer. I've tried put the /c element at various positions in the line. I've tried different cases for the computer name.
Nothing works.
When I try to run the command, I get a brief hourglass, and then the printer is installed on my local PC instead of the remote PC...
I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious... So what is it?! :-D
Thanks!
