Printer setup via scripting

Hi All,
We are looking to deploy serial printers to a number of computers. Rather
then manually visiting each machine to install the driver and configure the
machine to print to this printer, I would like to be able to script the
installation of the printer and driver install.

We use Altiris desktop management software, so what I am really looking to
do is script a job which can install the printer and driver on the specified
machine.

Could anyone offer some advice on how this would be done?

Cheers,
Luke

If you do a search on the net for "printui" or printui.dll you will
get many helpful hits. If you search for printui+xerox you will find
useful hits with script examples from microsot because many Microsoft
examples use xerox as the sample printer in the script. If you do a
search for printui+xerox+script+center or printui.dll xerox script
center you will get a fairly good refined search result with very
helpful script samples.
