Thanks for your replies. Just tested and exe does not have silent option, so I will be creating some packages.

If you have the actual drivers, you can treat them as such.

Seems like it would accomplish the same thing. I have 1400 printers from (9) different manufacturers and am in a time crunch. Some of the universal print drivers are easy to extract and create driver package but others are more difficult and seem to be designed more for manual execution than mass deployment. Just looking for a shortcut as I also have many custom images to deal with.

It's very easy to preload the drivers using a driver package in the Task Sequence. That's been recommended and tested by several people on here.

Since the manufacturers tell you to unplug printers before installing universal print drivers, you are preloading drivers same as in a task sequence. Seems logical that you could also install the drivers on an image to preload them into Windows driver store for availability when printer is plugged in after image deployment. Has anyone tried this before?
