In the help of printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?, we have the following examples for remotely installing printer driver with the help of /c switch.
Add printer driver using inf:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /c\\machine /m "Brother DCP-128C" /h "x86" /v "Type 3 - User Mode" /f c:\infpath\infFile.inf
Add printer driver using inf:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /K /c\\machine /m "Brother DCP-128C" /h "x86" /v 3
I am failing in getting this to work with an error code of 0x32 (This function is not supported). I am doing the following :
Using "net use" to create a connection to the remote server using the remote server's admin credentials.
Disabling the UAC in the remote machine.
Running the above command with and without /K.
I can see that it is copying the driver files into the remote machines "print$" folder but the remote installation finally fails with an error prompt with error code of 0x32.
Is there a way or a specific condition to make this thing work ? Because it is mentioned as an example in the help documentation, I think that I might be missing something.
Are there any other ways to achieve the desired task?

You will need to enable LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy value in remote computer:
In that computer open CMD as administrator and type:
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
It should return The operation completed successfully.
Next, create the message box file. For that use a tool called PsExec from Windows Sysinternals
When you have downloaded PsExec, run the following command:
PsExec \\Acer-PC -e CMD /c echo CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Popup "Welcome!",20,"" ^> C:\MessageBox.vbs
To run the message box, type the following from your computer (Acer-PC):
PsExec \\Acer-PC -e WScript.exe C:\MessageBox.vbs
It will appair the message during 20 seconds
I'm having trouble with a silent installation script for printers on Windows 10 1709.
We have an installation script that does the following.
Make a connection with the printserver via net use.
Import Point-To-Point registry file
Install the printers
Remove Point-To-Point registry keys and values
This works fine for our Server 2008 computers. I have to do the same trick for Windows 10 1709 computers. Only with a few (not all) printers, i get the following error.
When i install the printer by hand, it works fine. I get a popup that says i have to trust the printer. When i click on install drivers, it installs the printer. It just wont silently install.
Here are the installation scripts.
Install:
echo "Import Point And Print Settings"
reg import PointAndPrint.reg
REM Aanmelden Print Server
net use \\print01\IPC$ /USER:**** *******

I am trying to add a network printer via batch file, provided I feed the data(Printer IP, Printer Name, Computer IP) into the entries.
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /c\\%computerNameIP% /h "x86" /f %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf /r "IP_%computerNameIP%" /m "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /n\\%computerNameIP%\%printerName% /F %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf
Now, once this command is completed, I receive the following error:
Operation could not be completed(error 0x00000032). This operation is not supported.
I ran a similar code with runs the GUI:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il /b "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /c\\%computerNameIP% /h "x86" /f %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf /r "IP_%computerNameIP%" /m "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" /n\\%computerNameIP% \%printerName% /F %windir%\inf\prnkm002.inf
and I have to choose a local local Printer: which I adjust to be TCP/IP and the drivers come default since I set it. After choosing my driver, I receive the error as well.
I just can't pinpoint what exactly isn't supported.
Windows 7 32-bit. I made adjustments to the registry, print management, group policy, but none of those seem concrete to what is preventing a remote add to a network printer.
I found another way to do it with the prncnfg.vbs files. First create the port, assign it, then manage it.
This is all located in the admin scripts in Windows folder
I am working on a Virtual Printer and I'm stuck at printer installation. Installation is made by InnoSetup
[run] Filename : rundll32.exe; Parameters: "printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /f ""{app}\ghostscript\ghostpdf.inf"" /r ""TitusVirtualPrinter:"" /m ""Ghostscript PDF"" /b ""Virtual Printer"" /u /Y "; StatusMsg: Installing PS Printer for Ghostscript; Description: Ghostscript PS Printer; Flags: waituntilterminated shellexec;
That line works perfectly and the program installs on Windows 7 systems (Pro 32&64bits) but not in Windows 8. I don't have any error message.
could it be the same as this:

perhaps they key information in that article relating to your problem is
you will want to select option #7 “Disable Driver Signature

How disable and enable usb port via command prompt? or using batch script ? or using vb script in windows 7?
You can use batch which gives you a couple of options. You can edit the registry key to disable usb devices from being used
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
To enable change value to 3.
Or you can deny access to the files Usbstor.pnf and Usbstor.inf
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf /d user
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.inf /d user
Where user is the user account that you want to deny access for.
To enable use
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf /p user:R
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.inf /p user:R
Both commands will need admin rights.
Hope this helps
You can also have a look at devcon command. Available freely on microsoft site, for win7+ windows.
I have the same problem and I use a solution that takes the best of the two previous answers:
1º-We disable the functionality that allow us to detect new external storage devices:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
2º-We remove all the drivers of USB devices installed on the PC (This will also eliminate the possibility of using keyboard and mouse, but only momentarily):
devcon.exe remove *USB*
3º- We re-scan the connected USB devices, so that Windows will automatically install the drivers of devices different than external storage (eg Mouse, keyboard ...), thus obtaining the desired result:
devcon.exe rescan
4º- If we want to re-allow the use of external storage devices in our PC, we must use the command:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f
PD: Every command will need admin rights
I use USBDeview. See documentation and examples to use it. Easy and works fine
