Install a static printer object for the printers at
each of the given addresses. The addresses of the
printers to be created may be specified as a
semicolon ‘;’ separated list, while Printer Name,
Driver Name and Port Name are separated by a
comma ‘,’.

Each printer object consists of 3 parameters, the
Printer Name, Driver Name and Port Name.

The ‘Printer Name’ is the name of the printer
object to be created.

The ‘Driver Name’ is the parameter, can be either

a number (1=PCL5,2=PCLXL,4=PS) or the actual

driver name “Dell Open Print Driver (PCL 5)” or

“Dell Open Print Driver (PCL XL)” or “Dell Open

Print Driver (PS)”

The ‘Port Name’ is the parameter, is either an IP

Address (192.168.1.124) or a Queue Name. For

e.g. \\SERVER\Dell2355.

The addresses of the printers to be created may

be specified as a full file system path to an ANSI

text file containing a list of printers.

For e.g. Content of c:\myprinters.txt:

My Dell 7330dn (PCL5),1,192.168.1.18

My Dell 5130 (PCLXL),2,192.168.1.22

My Dell 7130dn (PS),4,192.168.1.15

My Dell 2355 (PS) via
TESTSERVER,4,\\TESTSERVER\Dell2355

A reference to a file path is marked by a leading

‘@’. The path must be an absolute path, and may

be a local path (such as “@c:\myprinters.txt”) or

a UNC path referring to a network location (such

as “@\\Server\InstallFolder\myprinters.txt”).

If the printer at a given address is a known and

supported Dell printer, the static printer object

will be created as the appropriate model.

Otherwise, it will be created as a generic laser

printer.If the specified printer is not accessible
