NDog
This is one of the most advanced batch scripts I have come up with to date, and utilises a lot of stuff I have learnt from ss64 website and forum. I think some of the older members here will be able to see some of their code being used. Also this really highlights the limits of batch scripting such as ! and & characters which should be avoided at all cost. I am sharing this script as it is extremely useful to install IP printers from a batch file without need of a windows print server and also as a thank you to simon and some of the hard working folks around here. Hope you get some use out of it.
Some of the functions involve
-passing strings with spaces into subrountines
-creating virtual arrays
-utilising vbscript
-advanced for /f loop techniques
-mounting user registry hives and changing data
and more crazy stupid things

===================================
OPI was developed by ndog
Designed to install IP printers easily and reduce the dependancy on having a network print server
FEATURES
===================================
+Printer settings saved in .printer files
+Installs printers by simply selecting desired printer from menu
+Tested working in Windows XP, 2003, 7 32 bit and 64 bit platforms
+Installs printer drivers using printui, most compatible method for unsigned printer drivers
+Can import printer preferences such as greyscale and apply to all user accounts, including uncreated accounts
+Includes option to backup printer settings
+Fully portable and self contained scripts
-Relies on WMI service to be running
TECHNICAL
===================================
*Works on Windows XP and higher
*Config files must be stored in the ~config folder
*Printer drivers must be stored in the same folder as opi.cmd
can be nested as long as referenced in config file
*Do not use ! or & characters anywhere in the configuration files, either in the settings or config names.
Doing so will render the script useless due to batch file limitations
The reason is because batch files can not export single values from the registry
and involves a complex cleaning process
Until the code gets ported to autoit please refrain from these characters
e.g. instead of 'B&W', use 'BW'printers\
- ~config\
- Sharp\
- opi.cmd
- saveprinterconfig.cmd
Firstly save your printer drivers in a sub folder
Sharp\
- AR-Mx\PCL6\
- 2kxpVista
- XPVistax64
- MX-x\PCL6\
- 2kXPVista
- XPVistax64
Secondly create your .printer files in the ~config folder

I cannot manage to get this to work, but I am not sure if I'm even understanding how the program operates. Does it prompt you for what printer needs to be installed or does it install all of the printers that have ".printer" files setup for them?
I'm running on Windows 7 and get "The arguments are invalid." after line "B:\printers>rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "" /f "B:\Printers\\"
Then at the end it says TCPIP Printer not defined... exiting...
This batch file seems like exactly what I need if I can get it to work. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

I registered just to say thank you for this! I was able to get the script configured with the 8 printers we use in the office and backup all of the settings in under 2 hours. After testing on 4 of the new computers we just built everything appears to be working flawlessly. It took less than 4 minutes to install all 8 printers and apply their settings, a task which normally took around 20.
Thanks Again!
