installing a printer driver, printer and monitor programmatically
Friedrich Dominicus <FDominicus[ at ]nospam.nospam> 21.05.2007 06:40:18
Long subject, but in principle not really rocket science although I feel
it's difficult like that. I have software only printer driver based on
unidrv. And I can install the printer without trouble using my inf file.
But now I wanted to install that programmatically during an installer
run. Till now I have not "satisfying" solution. I tried my luck with the
difxapp tools but according to someone else they are supposed to work if
a "real" device is around, but as said nothing like that is there.
Howerver the Add Printer Wizard must add this device somehoe internally,
but I have not the slightest clue how that works.

Does anyone here has an idea on how to get around this?

Regards
Friedrich
