Hi Shiv,

Do you know how to install a printer driver silently from the command line? If so, we can help you make the Fixlet.

I have no idea… let me know if you (or anyone else) find any way to do this and then BigFix can help with any action or any relevance that you might require.

Sure, it’s easy and silent…

just type “RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /?” from RUN to see the full list of options (there are many!)

i used it many times.

you can use a registry query for relevance, and the above command for the rest (driver / port / network printer / local printer install or remove)
