I have used PrintUI to create a printer deployment script, however the
entries created by the script differ from their manually created
counterparts in that their status is offline.

Printing works despite this status and everything appears normal until
the machine is rebooted, then the status changes and cannot be
manually modified. If I right-click on the entry and select "Use
printer online" I get a message showing "operation could not be
completed".

I have tried several XP machines both SP1 and SP2, and different
printers and drivers (including native) with no success. Strangely,
the problem does not exist when created using the wizard.

Here is my runline:

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Photocopier-1 RPCS" /f
G:\Apps\Drivers\Printers\Ricoh\XP\1075\RPCS\english\Disk1\RC15E12K.inf
/r "\\SERVER\PHOTOCOPIER-1" /m "RICOH Aficio 1060 RPCS"

Any suggestions?

Victor

Did you ever get a reply on this? I am having this same issue. Tested on Vista Business x64, Vista Ultimate x32, and XP Pro. All with current drivers and latest Service Packs. Printer Queues are set up in CUPS, and set up locally to use the IPP URL. Works if I map manually, but using the below command, it only works until reboot:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /b %prnDispName% /if /f %driverINF% /r "http://bcps1:631/printers/BCHQ-HP-Color" /m "HP Color LaserJet 3500" /u


Have a Dell 3100cn set up on that print server, too. Same symptoms.
