The automation works in that the actual driver installation runs in a silent mode, but it then prompts the user to click a bunch of "yes" and "next" buttons in order to set up the generic printer on LPT1. This is part of an automated setup for a server machine just in order to get the poscript driver on there prior to installing the acrobat 4.0 product (I know it is an old product, but that is what they need for the apps this server hosts) in order for the Acrobat Distiller to install properly. Without PostScript drivers, the Distiller portion will not install.

I hate to mention it, but do you/they realise that server use of Acrobat is almost always forbidden by the Acrobat EULA... Aandi Inston

I read the EULA, says can be installed on one machine, not able to be shared on network for multiple workstation use, says nothing about using it on a server. Is this really a violation of the EULA? Exact text that I found in the EULA is as follows: 1.2 You may install one copy of the Software on a single file server for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto a hard disk or other storage device of up to the Permitted Number of Computers that are on the same network as the file server. No other network use is permitted.

I am not a lawyer, but I've often seen this discussed so I can offer a personal interpretation. The issue seems to hinge on "multiple users". It does not seem to matter how indirect the use is, the license stops multiple users initiating Acrobat processing. So, for example, that would include all of the following: - sharing a copy of Acrobat - sharing a printer driver - sharing watched folders - a web server that creates PDF files in response to user request - any other kind of server that creates PDF files in response to user request - a system where the user can add a request to a queue which later results in a PDF being made to their requests What seems to be fine is using the server as something I wouldn't really call a server: a batch workstation. For example, generating thousands of PDF files as part of a scheduled accouting run. Aandi Inston

Here is a way to install printers from command line: D:\>rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "HP DeskJet 970Cxi" /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /r "lpt1:" /m "HP DeskJet 970Cxi" Explaination here: <http://www.windows2000faq.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=14539> Download an printer driver file from your printer manufacturer. This must be a (self extracting) archive containing the PPD file and an INF file.
