Are you encountering a specific issue, or is this a general question?
I couldn't get PrintUIEntry to work during my first try ever to use it and
unfortunatley, I was trying on SP2 so I thought (hoped?) maybe that was the
problem.
I've tried adding a network printer to a single user account as well as
globally to every user and both failed. I can get the PRINTUI command to
set the default printer, print a test page, and open the queue (opening the
queue only working from the command line, not a batch job).
Running the following to add the printer for a single user:
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /n\\server\printqueue
gave the error message, "Operation could not be completed". I can add the
printer through the add printer wizard.
Running the following to add the printer globally,
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\server\printqueue
gave the error message "unable to add the per machine printer connection.
Access is denied". I was running this command from a user domain account
with only user privileges.
I'm concerned that network authentication may be involved. That's part of
the reason why, in another thread you responded to, I asked about disabling
authentication for print queues.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong
question.
Post by DLNHas anyone tested XP Service Pack 2 with rundll32
printui,PrintUIEntry for scripting printer installs? Have there been
any problems?
Thanks.
