Add Printer
How do I add a Network Printer as a post install task?
I will need it to be on a 64-bit Windows 7. When I manually add the printer, it prompts me to install the driver. So how would I go about adding the drivers as well?

there are a few options , depending on how many printers the users may connect to you may want to use the dell open printer driver below
- if this is an upgrade , use the USMT tool to capture the printer (this is an option under window components)
- install the driver as part of the image
- install Dell Printer managment on the image http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/solutions/client-systems-printer-opd.aspx

It is not an upgrade... Also, the printer is an HP printer. We have a server running server 2003 that is our print server with all the printers on it. I was thinking about adding another printer with the 64-bit driver and just use that one. Wanted to see what options there are though. - akilpatrick 11 years ago
If they are all in a domain, use a gpo.
