rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "NWEmbosser" /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /r "lpt1:" /m "Generic / Text Only"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Sr /n NWEmbosser /a "%userprofile%\My Documents\Nemeth Worksheets\paper.dat"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /Sr /n NWEmbosser /a "%userprofile%\My Documents\Nemeth Worksheets\port.dat"

This batch file is to run in combination with an installer for one of my programs to creates a generic printer called NWEmbosser. for the first line

second line loads a .dat file that changes the paper length

Third line is .dat file that changes the spooler

This works on windows xp and the only issue was a timing issue on windows xp

windows 7 gives error message 0x0000c can not find exe and it still make the generic printer before error message

Are those the correct paths to paper.dat and port.dat?

Also, you are missing a flag after the .dat files. When you use the /Sr it requires a flag so the OS knows what to change, use one of the following letters/numbers.

If this still does not work, remember, Windows 6 is NOT like XP, try running the batch file as Admin, since normal users cannot add devices.
