More silent printer installation options [http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t43120.html here].
= Another lazy way (Vista) =
For Vista, you can migrate your printers with printbrm.
- Open the Administrative Tools folder, and then click Print Management.
- In the Print Management tree, right-click the name of the computer that contains the printer queues that you want to export, and then click Export printers to a file. This starts the Printer Migration Wizard.
- On the Select the file location page, specify the location to save the printer settings, and then click Next to save the printers. For this example, it'll be "printer_labo.export". It contains a Brother HL-1470N printer.
The deployement after that is:
<source lang="xml">
<package
id="labo-printer"
name="Labo Printer"
revision="1"
priority="0"
reboot="false">
<check type="registry" condition="equals" path="HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Brother HL-1470N\Name" value="Brother HL-1470N" />
<install cmd="c:\windows\system32\spool\tools\printbrm.exe -r -f %SOFTWARE%\Printers\printer_labo.export -O FORCE" />
<install cmd='rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Brother HL-1470N"' />
</package>
</source>
