    Remote printer installation.

    DateMonday, March 17, 2008 at 02:37PM

    In case anyone cares, the following command-line string will install a printer on a per-machine basis so that it is available to all users who log onto the machine:

    rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /ga /n \\servername\printersharename

    If run remotely (a la PSExec), spooler service on remote server needs to be restarted before it'll show up in the UI.

    I really want to file this under "30 minutes of my life that I'll never get back", but maybe someone else will find it useful. :-)
