<div class="content wysiwyg-content">

I am using <br />
<br />
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /dn /n\\Printsvr\NetPrint &nbsp;// delete printer<br />
and<br />
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /in /n\\Printsvr\NetPrint &nbsp; // add printer<br />
<br />
for managing the available printers on notebooks, as them often are at locations with no access to the home-based printers.<br />
<br />
It works well, except one thing that bugs me; despite using the /q(uiet) parameter, on each occassion when installing the printers a &quot;Connecting to...&quot; window pops up until the connection is established.<br />
<br />
Any possibility to work around/suppress this?<br />

Silent install of network printers

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
