I'm working on a script that needs to set up a Xerox Phaser printer using the postscript driver. The computers currently have the PCL driver on them (though the printers aren't set up on them yet.) I want to install the PS driver using the specified INF, and then install the printer using the driver provided after the INF is installed (so as not to accidentally use the PCL driver.) How can I accomplish this in VBScript?

You may want to take a look at using the rundll32 InstallHinfSection Function. That is how I do it. It doesn't require you install any extra ActiveX component. There is a example for how to use it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/Silent-parameters-for-RunDll32-setupapi-t106711.html Basically its, %systemroot%system32rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 C:drivers2100PCL 5ehp211ip5.inf

You may also want to take a look at the PrintUIEntry function, as this will allow you to add the printer if the drivers are already loaded on a system. See here fore further info: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189105
