Using "RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry" command to install .inf print drivers

Has anyone had success using RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry command in a fixlet? This is less BigFix related and more general usage of the tool, but we have an old Canon printer (more than 10 years old at least) and we cannot get it to work as suggested with the help function “RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /?”

If anyone has a working fixlet or command line using this tool and a given .inf file for a printer, your help would be greatly appreciated.

I should add that I have used this command for a network printer, but we are trying to use an .inf file because this will be ran for users in a very remote site.

@jcook, here is an excerpt from a printer script that we use.

appendfile cscript Prnport.vbs -a -r IP_YOUR_PRINTER_IP -h YOUR_PRINTER_IP -o raw -n 9100
appendfile rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Printer_Name" /f PATH_TO_DRIVER /r "IP_YOUR_PRINTER_IP" /m "PRINTER_DRIVER"
