You should only have one printer-driver package in this directory because this utility will package all the files found in this directory (and sub directories) into the executable file. If you have downloaded a compressed printer-driver package, you must expand it before using this utility. In some cases, you may have multiple printer driver .INF files in the directory (sometimes one is for color and another for mono products). In this case, an additional dialog will allow you to select which printer driver to package. You will also get a warning if the directory is large. This is to help prevent packaging more than one printer driver. You may choose to continue at this point or not. Once the printer-driver directory is selected, and one printer driver has been found, the printer-driver information is displayed below the directory selection box.

Package Source
Driver Directory
Use the
Select Driver
button to enter the directory where the printer driver resides by browsing or typing
it in. You should only have one printer-driver package in this directory because this utility will package
all the files found in this directory (and sub directories) into the executable file. If you have downloaded
a compressed printer-driver package, you must expand it before using this utility.
In some cases, you may have multiple printer driver .INF files in the directory (sometimes one is for color
and another for mono products). In this case, an additional dialog will allow you to select which printer
driver to package.
You will also get a warning if the directory is large. This is to help prevent packaging more than one
printer driver. You may choose to continue at this point or not.
Once the printer-driver directory is selected, and one printer driver has been found, the printer-driver
information is displayed below the directory selection box.
For printer drivers that support preconfiguration, the check box below will be enabled. Selecting this will
run a configuration dialog after clicking the
Create Package
button.
Install Type
Silently preload the driver
is the option to select for users that will be using a direct connection, like a
USB cable. A future Plug and Play event will be necessary to install the printer driver, but all the files
will be installed in the Windows driver store by this package for future use.
By default the executable file runs silently. If you would like to prompt the end user to connect the product
at the end of the install, select the
Show a prompt to connect the printer
check box.
For products using a network connection, select the
Silently create the network port and install
driver
option. The
Network Settings
button will become enabled, and you should click on it to enter
the required network settings.
NOTE:
If you don’t select the printer driver first, you’ll get an error dialog. You must select the printer
driver first so that the product name can be derived from the printer-driver name.
