Mass deployment of the OL Connect Send
Printer Driver
The OL Connect Send Printer Driver is intended to be installed on computers from which print
jobs shall be sent to the respective Workflow server. Often such computers are part of specific
domains on which end users are not allowed to install software on their own. Such users may
not have the knowledge to install printers, and often dedicated restrictions and policies have to
be taken into account.
By installing the OL Connect Send Printer Driver in a silent, preconfigured mode it is possible
to distribute the setup to multiple end user machines without the need to visit these machines in
person or via remote desktop. This topic explains how to do that.
Silent setup tool
To enable a mass deployment of OL Connect Send Printers to client machines, a tool is
included in the delivery of the OL Connect Send Client installation package. This tool is named
OLCS_Printer_Driver_Silent_Setup_1.4.5.304.exe. Whenever a non-GUI installation is
required, this tool is to be used.
For unattended deployment, three files are required side by side in a dedicated folder:
l The Setup msi file (e.g. OLCS_Printer_Driver_Setup_1.4.5.304.msi)
l The Silent Setup tool OLCS_Printer_Driver_Silent_Setup_1.4.5.304.exe)
l An OLCSClient.ini with the desired settings; see "Configuration file content" on the facing
page.
The deployment tool of your choice then only needs to run the Silent Setup tool and check its
exit code.
Note
Note that the user account used to run the Silent Setup tool needs to have administrator rights for the
installation of a printer, a printer port, a printer driver etc. Otherwise the installation will fail silently,
but the respective log entries will be created (see "Installation errors" on page27).
