Printmig will drag the queues and drivers. Then you could kill all the
queues and leave the drivers
In a different way you could also use the rundll to script the install of
the drivers in a CMD file. You would just have to know the driver names and
source location for the INF file.
I wrote a script to install native drivers. But basically I wrote a script
that wrote the script. See the CMD file is repetitive. It runs the same
command over and over for different driver versions. SO you could write a
script to do a write line "Beginning of command" + Driver name (from an
array or text file) + remaining parts of command etc. Its what I did.
Anyway for a sample you can check out my script on www.thecitrixguy.com
Commands would be right change the driver name and locations.

Subject: [THIN] Best way to load mass printer drivers
We have a test w2k (I think) print server that has all the latest printer
drivers we support (3-4 different manufactures).
What is the best way to get them all loaded on our Citrix W2k XP FR3
servers?
I was trying to avoid doing one at a time by adding printer...... You know
the process.
Thanks in advance.
PS I heard there is a dos command that loads a queue and related drivers.
Have not found it yet.
