Is there a way to install a Post Script PPD driver from command line?

I have seen Microsoft's printui.dll artical below, but can not find
any reference to Post Script of PPD's.
How to Add Printers with No User Interaction in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q189/1/05.asp

The current installation process I use, is to install Adobe Post
Script drivers, and during the install, I browse for a PPD file.

I would like to find a command line solution for this.
I don't want to use VBS, or any automated mouse-click type solution.

Thanks
Nick
