    I understand that rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\servername\printername is the command to add a printer. but how can I stop the boxes that pop up asking me if I want to install the drivers? hope I am clear on my question.

    It depends what your drivers are packed in.  If it's a couple of files including an inf then you can use "dpinst.exe".  If your drivers are in executable format then either unpack the drivers from the executable or contact the vendor for a silent switch to deploy the executable.

    ok first: item is if I run rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n "\\servername\printername to remove a printer and that particular printer is not there.. I get a pop up window that says "Printer connection cannot be removed. Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network" well that is fine but is there a way to make that pop up window go away?

    Second Item: all my drivers are installed on the actual Print Server most of the Printers get installed with the exception for a couple of them. I was told to use /y to say "yes" to continue with that install and the pop up window should go away but that is not the case.

    any other sugestions?

    1. add a "/q" for quiet mode to avoid that popup

    2. Did you try my suggestions at all with dpinst or contacting the vendor for silent install switches?  Depending on how you were given these drivers there can be various methods as no two vendors follow the same standard.
