PrintUI (CMD)

Add and remove local printer and driver through the command line. Can be used in scripts or packages. Before adding the printer, setup port and restart the Print Spooler service.

rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /if /b "ETIAM Print-in" /f "%ProgramFiles%\Etiam\Print-In\Driver\Print-in.inf" /r "PrintIn Port" /m "ETIAM Print-in" /q
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /Xs /n "ETIAM Print-in" comment "ETIAM virtual printer" location "http://www.etiam.com" /q

rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /dl /n "ETIAM Print-in" /q
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /dd /m "ETIAM Print-in" /q

DIFxApp Configuration Flags (MSI)

Flag values for the DIFxApp merge module, to use in the MSIDriverPackages table when installing drivers in a MSI file. Remember to add the DIFxApp merge module, otherwise the driver will not be installed in the DriverStore.

This method is equivalent to DPinst.exe with a lot of switches.

Flag Description
1 Force driver installation
2 Suppress a prompt to connect a device
4 Suppress the creation of a Programs and Features entry for a driver package
8 Install an unsigned driver package
16 Remove installed files

Happy package building.
