How install printer on USB port + printui

[tuurken]

Hello,

I want to install a HP LaserJet 1320 printer (USB) onto a Windows XP machine (SP2)

I use the command prompt:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "HP LaserJet 1320" /f %windir%\HPDriver\hpc1320c.inf /r "USB" /m "hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6"

I also tried

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "HP LaserJet 1320" /f %windir%\HPDriver\hpc1320c.inf /r "DOT4_001" /m "hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6"

When I change USB or DOT4_001 to lpt1:, then it works fine!

Can anybody help me?

thanks

What is it you want to do? you can install the printer on lpt1: (wich is exactly what you're supposed to do...) But you want it different?

You have to install the print port driver for the USB "DOT4_001" first, then run your printui.dll to add the printer at that port...

Is it possible to install the print port driver with a command line or VB.NET code?

Why not an unattended install...HP uses mainly XML...depending on the age of your printer...it may also be a MSI file...if this is an All-in-One it'll prolly be both plus an ICE installer...

For OfficeJet & All-in-Ones...you'll have a lot of work to do

all the usb drivers are PnP drivers and you can "unattended" install it - be sure turn on the print and connected to computer.
