Add a printer for all users in Windows

April 3, 2010

So I was trying to figure out a way to add a network printer to a Windows machine so that it shows up for all users regardless of whether or not they have added it.  After some searching I found a command that could be run from the command line that would do the trick.

But it was pretty gnarly:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\serverName\printerName

All options can be seen by using:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?
