Problems with prnadmin.dll and new HP printers
We are configuring all of our new machines using IP printing, so I have developed an application that allows us to install printers on a machine remotely using the PRNADMIN.DLL utility. This has been quite successful with the older models such as the 4000, 4050, and 4100, but it doesn't work with the 4200 or 4250. Our organization is changing to the newer printers on a regular basis, and we don't want to have to make a desk visit to each machine to install the new models. The error message I receive when trying to add a 42xx series printer is "Print processor unknown." Has anyone else had any experiences with this particular DLL file, or experiences with the new print drivers that ship with the 4200 series printers?
ANY help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shane

Re: Problems with prnadmin.dll and new HP printers
I'm not familiar with PRNADMN.DLL
Programmatically Create a Printer and Printer Port by Using PrinterAdmin (Prnadmin.dll) with a Visual Basic Script in Microsoft Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B321025&Product=win2000
Error:
The print processor is unknown.
Explanation:
The print processor is a dynamic-link library (DLL) which calls the printer driver. An application has tried to use a print processor which has not been installed on your computer.
User Action:
Contact your system administrator to check the software that has been installed on your computer. If the required DLL cannot be installed on your system, you may have to contact the supplier of the running application.

Re: Problems with prnadmin.dll and new HP printers
If you have a Win2k3 cluster, check out this Microsoft KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835609/
Note the recommendation at the bottom of the KB to use 4100 drivers instead of 4300. I don't know if that applies to 4200 also.
I'm trying to get the hotfix now.

Re: Problems with prnadmin.dll and new HP printers
Set oDriver = CreateObject("Driver.Driver.1")
oDriver.InfFile = "\\server\apps$\DRIVERS\Printers\lj4250\pcl\hpc4x50c.inf"
oDriver.ModelName = "HP LaserJet 4250 PCL 6"
oDriver.ServerName = "\\" & name
Like I mentioned before, this code works for all sorts of odd printer drivers. This lj 4250 is the only that it does not work on.
The error message is "The parameter is incorrect." The error number is -2147024809.
