Hi,
I had the same problem and turned to the default vbs installed with XP
prndrvr.vbs, prnport.vbs, prnmngr.vbs, etc
You install first the port and the driver, then the printer itself.
if you need to change default page size you can use the Setprinter utility
(reskit 2003) or for updating the acls on the printer, use SetAcl.exe
Best thing is that you can do this remotely, since it's wmi !
