Rick,
I believe you can use WMI to do this. Check in the System32 folder for a file called prndrvr.vbs for a full implementation of it (or you can even call the script from your program) here is a VFP very stripped down version of it, i tested it replacing the lines that takes the parameters with the hard-coded commented out ones and it worked for me.
LPARAMETERS tcModel, tcEnvironment, tnVersion, tcFilePath, tcInfFile
LOCAL loWMI, loDriverInfo
loWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:")
loDriverInfo = loWMI.Get("Win32_PrinterDriver")
WITH loDriverInfo
.Name = tcModel
.SupportedPlatform = tcEnvironment
.Version = tnVersion
.FilePath = tcFilePath
.InfName = tcInfFile
ENDWITH
RETURN loDriverInfo.AddPrinterDriver(loDriverInfo)
>Does anybody know how to install a printer driver programmatically?
>
>I have an application that needs to auto-install and includes some PDF printing features that run through the a PostScript driver, so I want to install the PostScript driver automatically.
>
>Is there any way to do this? The printer driver would be one of the included Windows printer drivers so it should always be there without requireing a disk for installation.
