Install a printer driver via powershell script

Question

I would like a PowerShell script that can install a printer driver.

I have a INF file stored in C:\temp\hpPrinter\autorun.inf

I tried below line of code in powershell but get an error saying that.

Code:

$infPath = 'C:\temp\hpPrinter\autorun.inf'

pnputil.exe -i -a $infPath

Error:

Microsoft PnP Utility

Adding driver package: autorun.inf

Failed to add driver package: The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information.

Total driver packages: 1

Added driver packages: 0

Thanks

Hi @HinW ,

maybe the cmdlet Add-PrinterDriver is helpful to get this done: Add-PrinterDriver
