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
To enable a mass deployment of OL Connect Send Printers to client machines, or whenever a
non-GUI installation is required, run the installer in silent mode.
For unattended deployment, two files are required side by side in a dedicated folder:
l
The Setup msi file (e.g. OLCS_Printer_Driver_Setup_2.1.1.msi)
l
An OLCSClient.ini file with the desired settings; see "Configuration file content" on the
next page.
Do not run the installer from the Windows TEMP folder.
As this folder is known as a location from where malicious applications try to install themselves
on a PC, it is under severe surveillance of Windows' protection systems, including SmartScreen,
which will prevent the installation to protect the PC.
Nevertheless, OL Connect Send Printer Driver is secure and it is Microsoft Certified, so it is
guaranteed to be non-intrusive.
The deployment tool of your choice then only needs to run the Silent Setup tool and check its exit
code.
