How are you installing the printer's drivers? 
Please provide the script you're using.
</div>

<div>
I am getting this error after i run the script and install the printer and check printer properties 
I believe the script should specify the option &quot;Replace the current driver &quot;&nbsp;instead of &quot;use the driver that is currently installed &quot;

Even if you change it the way you suggested the printer does get install properly: 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-43005460-1">@echo Creating Printer Port on %%a
 cscript.exe &quot;C:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnport.vbs&quot; -a -s %%a -r &quot;Printerhostname&quot; -h hostname -o raw -n 9100


\cscript.exe &quot;C:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prndrvr.vbs&quot; -a -m &quot;HP Universal Printing PCL 6&quot; -h &quot;sccm\hp drivers\hpcu230u.inf&quot; -s %%a



@echo Setting Printer on %%a
cscript &quot;C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs&quot; -d -a -p &quot;Printer Queue Name&quot; -m &quot;HP Universal Printing PCL 6&quot; -r &quot;Printerhostname&quot; -s %%a

Print Drivers Install with Script 
 
I have used the windows default printer scripts to add printer to remote computer, it works fine. However it does not seem like it installs the specified driver properl. 
 
when I check printer properties it throw a communication error, but still open printer properties, everything seems to be configured as it is supposed to. However when I click to print test page it just freezes. 
 
I would like to know if anything missing and needed to be &nbsp;added in addition to these scripts: 
prnmngr.vbs and prnport.vbs 
 
Probably I need to select &quot;Replace the driver&quot; via script 
Thank you

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
