Hello;

I've been attemtping to install a HP LaserJet 5Si MX through the command
line and have, thus far, only yielded errors.

The command I am using is:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /r "IP_192.168.101.106" /b "HP
LaserJet 5Si MX" /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf

The error is an alert window with the header "Printers" and the following
text, "Operation could not be completed. Either the printer name was typed
incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the
server."

Any takers?
