silent install hp laserjet configuration utility problems
laserjet 1320 from cd used customization utility to then run silent installs to client and or allow users to self install by clicking in the install.bat file.
the printer/driver does not show up in printers and faxes even after reboot.

You have to create the port on the PC before you add the printer. You have to use something like Windows scripting to create the port before you run the install
Printer drivers are always problematic.
Try using printmig.exe instead. All you do is install the driver on one machine - export the driver using printmig - then create your batch file to import the driver using printmig.
Your done!

Your hard coded IP is a problem first of all, how do you know this is not within a persons router DHCP setup? Or that the printer is not yet configured to 13? PortName needs to be given a value, usually LPT1 -- that is a must. Also the driver set is not complete. HP always uses many more drivers than this, and also installs a series of registry entries to validate the printer and driver. I suggest you look at a real INF setup routine on the disk for this printer, it is usually a lot more complicated than you have.

hi. thanks for all the suggestions. so i assume you all have used the hp configuraion utility.
so rickhobbs you say that the hp configurtion utiliy they built that but they require users to manually install the tcipip port? sorry don't think so. also, what if it's a lpt1 port an not a ip how does your theory work then? well anyway that was not the solution
so scrathcyboy agree with you that sure the ip was not there so i added it but are you familiar with the configuration utility? all the drivers, inf files, etc are created from the utility.
nexissteve where do i find exe file?
