The problem is that there are quite a few technical challenges that need be solved to make it possible to implement such feature. But we hope to implement the feature some day...

Example: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\%1 /n\\%2 start /wait sc \\%1 stop spooler start /wait sc \\%1 start spooler Just note that this installs a printer globally on the computer and is not removeable by a user. To remove the printer you have to use the /gu command. So, it's a good thing, but bad when you remove a printer and have to remove it from all computers through this. But, there are to cmd files you can get to do this easily and is possible to do through command prompt to a remote computer.
