Has anyone been able to get the /Gw option, or /q, to work when using the
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry?

i.e.
Here is what I type

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /Gw /n \\printerunc\path

It still advises me about connecting to server for driver and to be careful
about installing drivers from unknown sources.

Thank you but that is nothing more than a print out of the options to use
with this command line function. I know what the options are, but what I
want to know is if the /q or /Gw option work. I have tried it both and XP
sp1 and XP sp2 machine it does not do a silent install of the printer.
