Command line silent install

This method cannot be customized and installs only the printing system components

included in the typical installation.

NOTE: Values that follow equal signs ( = ) in a command line

must not contain intervening spaces.

Method 1: Command line

Type the following at the command line:

<CD-ROM-ROOT>/SETUP/SETUP.EXE /U /PORT=XXXX /PRINTER=N /PD=N

Method 2: SETUP.LST

Use the SETUP.LST file to specify command line arguments to the installer for an

unattended installation. You can send command line arguments in one of the following

ways:

• Send the command directly to the installer

• Send the command using the SETUP.LST file located in the setup directory, or

• Use a combination of the two

For example, this file contains two options: /port and /printer. The installer operates as

normal because the /u option has not been specified. If you use setup /u for the installer,

it operates in unattended mode and uses the two values specified in the defaults section

of the SETUP.LST file. If you use setup /u /printer=1 for the installer, it operates in

unattended mode and chooses HP LaserJet 8150N. (The options specified on the

command line override the options specified in the SETUP.LST file.)

The options available (see below) can also include the /u option. Using this option key

makes the installer always operate as unattended.

The following descriptions explain the available options:

/u. Signals the installer to use the specified port and printer given on the command line

(or in this file), and to use all default selections. Installation then proceeds without

prompting the user.

/port=xxxx. Used to specify the default port when doing an unattended install. The value

specified by xxxx should be a valid port and should contain no spaces.

/printer=n. Used to specify the default printer when doing an unattended install. The

value specified by n is an integer that references the list of available printers. For

example, the following printers are available for the HP LaserJet 8150 printer installation:

0 = HP LaserJet 8150 printer

1 = HP LaserJet 8150N printer

2 = HP LaserJet 8150DN printer

3 = HP LaserJet 8150HN printer

4 = HP LaserJet 8150MFP printer
