I had actually already gone down that road and found as you found that
the rundll32 printui.dll (with /ia switch) does work for this driver.
I modified my scripts to use this instead of using prndrvr.vbs. Oddly
however, for this driver I cannot use the /q switch for quiet. The
switch works with all the other drivers except the drivers that have
this different type of .inf file format. It appears that HP is now
doing something odd in their print drivers that obviously meets the
standards however causes issues with prndrvr.vbs as well as rundll32
printui.dll. For what ever reason, HP's (what I call new .inf file
format) appears to now be being used in many of the new device drivers
they are releasing.
I am just happy I was able to find a work around. It would be great if
you could pass this information along to those who can correct the
problem, but I guess that would be under the assumption that either of
these options will work under future versions of Windows.
I didn't try extracting the cab files. I do have a workaround so I am
going to go with that.
Thanks for you assistance.
