Deploy printer drivers during ConfigMgr task sequence (part 2)

Almost 3 years ago I did a blogpost on deploying printer drivers during a task sequence. That one is based on PnPutil.exe which is fine, but probably not the best solution. Therefore using a CMD file, with multiple commands for different printer models may be better. Let's have a look at that.

When you want to deploy a single print driver or multiple printer drivers, use the following command instead:
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "<Printer model>" /f "<INF path>\<INF filename>"
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "<Printer model>" /f "<INF path>\<INF filename>"
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "<Printer model>" /f "<INF path>\<INF filename>"

This command can be placed multiple times in a CMD file (for example), so just create folders for different models and drivers, and have a CMD file in the root, which is pointing to the different locations. That way printer drivers can be installed easily.

Hope it helps!
