I'm trying to install a HP4200 print driver on a Windows
2000 print server running SP3 and I'm getting the
following error at the end of the installation "The
specified print monitor is unknown." Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Mike

Mike,

I have the same problem. I am attempting to script driver installs. Here's
the command line I am using:

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ia /c\\testdr13 /m "HP LaserJet 9000 PCL
6" /n "HP LaserJet 9000 PCL 6" /h "Intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f
"e:\ServerBase\PrintDrivers_Supported\HP\9000
Series\HP9000-ALL\PCL6\WIN2K/hpbf512i.inf"

A window opens up and files appear to copy to the target server (testdr13),
but then I get the message:

Printer Rundll command failed. Command: /ia /c\\testdr13 /m "HP LaserJet
9000 PCL 6" /n "HP LaserJet 9000 PCL 6" /h "Intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f
"e:\ServerBase\PrintDrivers_Supported\HP\9000
Series\HP9000-ALL\PCL6\WIN2K/hpbf512i.inf". The specified print monitor is
unknown

OK, found my answer. Only works with signed drivers? Bah. This needs to
be changed!

Thanks for the info Walter.

>>The next line is a single one:

rundll32 printUI.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "HP LaserJet 2100
Series PCL 5e" /h "Intel" /v "Windows NT 4.0 oder
2000" /f "c:\install\hp\lj283
ge\HP2114p5.inf" /l "c:\install\hp\lj283ge"

Instead of "Windows NT 4.0 oder 2000" use the proper
syntax for the language of the OS.
Works with signed drivers.

Ciao, Walter<<
