Local printer drive install with rundll32 and printui cmds

[Netcruzn]

All,

This should be relatively simple and must just be over looking some little something.

The first run command works if the second is remarked out but neither run otherwise

$osv = @OSVersion
$osbit = @OSArch


If $osv = "WIN_7" and $osbit = "X64" Then

ConsoleWrite("running" & @crlf)
Run("T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Other\dymo\Dymo XP-7-8 8.5\DLS8Setup.8.5.0.exe /s")
Run("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /q /m "Dell Laser Printer 1720dn" /f "T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Dell\1720\X64\drivers\print\win_2kxp\DKABJ740.inf" /F "T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Dell\1720\X64\drivers\print\win_2kxp\DKABJ740.inf")
EndIf

I feel this is the issue:

Run("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /q /m "Dell Laser Printer 1720dn" /f "T:RPMprinter_driversDell1720X64driversprintwin_2kxpDKABJ740.inf" /F "T:RPMprinter_driversDell1720X64driversprintwin_2kxpDKABJ740.inf")

I feel the error is in the line I put above however it loads the driver if I run it from a command prompt and also runs the first run command with the silent install. I have several more I need to run or add to the script just like this. If I can correct one the rest will be cake.

If do not remark out the first run command  it seems to blow by the silent install and never run it and returns this error : Run("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dd /q /m" "Dell Laser Printer 1720dn" /^ ERROR

I have tried runwait and runas I have local admin rights on all pcs including my test box. As I mentioned both of these work individually from a command prompt.

Run("T:RPMprinter_driversOtherdymoDymo XP-7-8 8.5DLS8Setup.8.5.0.exe /s")
  

Run("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /q /m "Dell Laser Printer 1720dn" /f "T:RPMprinter_driversDell1720X64driversprintwin_2kxpDKABJ740.inf" /F "T:RPMprinter_driversDell1720X64driversprintwin_2kxpDKABJ740.inf")
 

I am new to scripting and autoit so any and all help would be greatly apprecaiated.
 

Thanks,

When you have double quotes in the run command, or any command like this, you need to either escape the quotes by doubling them or surround the whole string with single quotes like this.

Run('rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /q /m "Dell Laser Printer 1720dn" /f "T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Dell\1720\X64\drivers\print\win_2kxp\DKABJ740.inf" /F "T:\RPM\printer_drivers\Dell\1720\X64\drivers\print\win_2kxp\DKABJ740.inf"')

Just to narrow down the issue, what happens if you copy the executable to the local machine and then run? This will tell you if the issue is with the exe or the path.

Thanks brewman and jlogan for your reply. Brewman solved my issue. I felt it was a quote issue but was not sure if I had to many or not enough. I tested it and it works like a champ.

Thanks again you guys are awesome.

All I found some but very little on loading drivers locally and not actually doing a physical install. What I am posting below works if you have multiple drivers and manufactures in a shared folder on a network drive. All you need to do is change your path and driver name accordingly.

I hope this helps someone as others have been nice enough to help me. This can be changed up simply by altering the printui commands I have used.

I know this is an old thread, but you can do all these operations with the Printers.au3 UDF.
