But the printer is not plugged in at installation, only after installation
The printer in question is the Rhino 6000 printer driver.
We install the printer in the following way.
[login to view URL] first run rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 C:\WINDOWS\inf\[login to view URL] to install usb printing.
[login to view URL] rhino driver is installed, by using dpinst /sa /sw /se from the driver folder.
**Remaining question
How can we make sure that the printer is always set as default when the device is installed after installation of the package when users plugin the device ?**
We saw 2 options:
1. Run a process per user via activesetup in the background that checks whether the printer is plugged in, if plugged in, set the printer as default and quit process. Mind that this also works when the rhino printer is added to another usb port.
Disadvantage : poll rate will possibly decrease perfomance on pc.
2. Modify the inf if possible so the printer is set as default
Disadvantage : more difficult because driver has to be signed again, this has to be investigate whether we can do this in the environment of the customer.
Please let me know if you are interested in provide some consultancy on this issue.
