			This script is used to create an installer that my Windows XP Pro users can run using the "Run As..." feature to install all network printers in all our locations without having to call me.

			Installing a network printer from the command-line can be performed remotely by using the "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry" command. This command can be run from one PC pushing the install of new printers onto client PCs. However, network printers require a change to the registry that cannot be done remotely (unless done manually via regedit) and then restarting a Windows service. This install gets around this and other issues, such as firewalls, by running on the local machine with Administrator rights.

			Installing network printers requires three steps:
			1) add TCP/IP ports to Registry,
			2) restart Print Spooler to use new ports
			3) Install printers (drivers and entries into Printers Folder)

	Another problem is that the installer will appear to run through all the steps processing each step (not just quickly displaying the finish page) but, not actually add any printers. If you look at the registry you can see the added ports. This is a sign that the service could not be stopped and restarted. I have seen this on Windows XP machines with SP1 only. The fix is to manually restart the spooler service and re-run the installer.
