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 /?
