Default Add network printer using batch file

Hi everyone,

I want to create a batch file which will allow users to choose any printers that is available at the particular server and install the desired printer.

I believe its related to this following command:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry

However i tried and searched for a long time, but with no luck.

I will gladly appreciate any help provided.

For people who faced the same problem as me, can go to the following forum i got my solution from:

http://mcpmag.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?tid=2447&pn=1

Anyway another solution is to create a batch file and type

start \\servername

and save as .bat

It will display whatever printers available on the server and install them straight away...
