Hello,

I would like to know how to install a network printer with a static IP using the command line on Windows 10, so that I can later create a script.
I specify that I do not have a print server.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 54.0.2840.99

    Hi

    I used to use this line under XP (on a single line, no spaces between %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /r) for my Epson printer 

    rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Epson Network" /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /r "IP_192.168.1.250" /m "Epson Stylus COLOR ESC/P 2"


    by typing rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /? in a command prompt, you'll get the meaning of each parameter along with examples so you can adapt the command to your printer

      Hello,

      thank you for your reply but I'm having trouble :(
      Is the INF file mandatory? I'm trying with the command: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /b "OKI CAMILLE" /r "192.168.1.62" but it tells me invalid argument, I tried instead with /in, it says: unable to complete this operation (error 0x000000709) Check that the printer name is correct and that the printer is connected to the network.

      It's old, I had forgotten some things, we first need to create the port via the BDR

      My reg (on IP address 192.168.1.250, port 515 and a print queue named PS-72B566-P3)

      Actually, I had installed the printer manually and exported the entry in the registry (then of course deleted the port)
      which gives me the following reg: 

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports\IP_192.168.1.250]
      "Protocol"=dword:00000002
      "Version"=dword:00000001
      "HostName"=""
      "IPAddress"="192.168.1.250"
      "HWAddress"=""
      "PortNumber"=dword:00000203
      "SNMP Community"="public"
      "SNMP Enabled"=dword:00000000
      "SNMP Index"=dword:00000001
      "Queue"="PS-72B566-P3"
      "Double Spool"=dword:00000000


      Then we stop and restart the spooler

      Net stop spooler
      net start spooler

      and finally we run the command line

      Ps: yes, the inf is mandatory as well as the /m which gives the name of the driver to use

      Tested on XP and W10 pro
