I need to add a printer driver from a server to a local PC using a batch
file. I do not need for the printer to be installed so that it shows up in
the printer folder. The name of the PC has to be a variable, due to the many
PCs this batch file will be ran on. I need an example of the command line.
I tried the example below, and it didn't work. I got a invalid argument error:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /c %COMPUTERNAME% /f
\\va017f14\public\drivers\hp_printer\laserjet\color\HPLJ2500\Win2000_XP\PCL6\hp2500p6.inf
/m "hp color LaserJet 2500 PCL 6" /h "Intel" /v "Windows 2000 or XP"

I do not need a link on how the switches work. I have that already. I need
someone to troubleshoot what I typed in the command to see what I did wrong.
Any help would be great.

Thank you from someone who has been hitting their head against a wall for a
while now....
