Printer Support!!

Hi Everyone, especially Aeolis
I have tried Aeolis printer support script many times but WinBuilder gives error on copying necessary files. Is there anyone who could accomplish adding printer support to Win10PE?
Once I was able to add support to Windows7 32 bitPE, but only for XPS printing, of course with Aeolis script. But I couldn't add my printer to system. I'm looking forward to a solution.
Best Regards.

Hi, sharp
Printer component is already in WimBuilder's project since v2019.06.21.
Unfortunately it seems can't create the XPS or PDF built-in printers in new Windows version,
and I don't have real printer to test it, just convert others' files/registry items to be a component.

The latest version is v2019.07.08, but nothing change for Printer.

noelBlanc shared his full functional winpe (RS5), which one has the working printer function, you can try it.
http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=1639.msg33169#msg33169

With his work, I will make printer work on RS5, and try to support it on 19H1, 20H1. but I don't have time to do it now.

Hi, slore
I think we are talking about different things. I'm working on PE systems and currently using Win10PE_SE_2019-04-12 project with WinBuilder [082]
not Wimbuilder. There is a N and M difference between programs.
I have examined noelBlanc's system. Yes, you are right, the system has a printer support.
I googled for this and find a bat file.

Now, the question is, how can I convert these batch codes to our script? (Plugin)
Is there any program that can do it? Once I have used bat to reg converters, but bat to plugin...
I don't know, may be you can help me with this bat file, or someone else in this forum.
Regards.

Hi, sharp
I know there is  a N and M difference between programs.

I created WimBuilder, because WinBuilder is dead, and the mess syntax is hard to learn.
WimBuilder use batch file, which is widely known, and shows the direct required files and registy items.
What you googled is just my WimBuilder's printer component batch patch(plugin).
https://github.com/slorelee/wimbuilder2/blob/master/Projects/WIN10XPE/01-Components/Printer/main.bat

As I said, I don't learn WinBuilder's syntax,so  I can't write or convert it to be the plugin.
But with the filelist and registy items, people can add them manually, so somebody can create a plugin for WinBuilder with the batch code.

WinBuilder is dead, but the PE build projects is alive, no matter what PE builder you are using.

It is still experimental patch(plugin). I create a PE in 1 minute with 20H1(10.0.18932) install.wim, but I can't got the built-in PDF, XPS printers.
The install printer settings can work, but I don't have real printer to test it.
I need some help about the drivers part, when noelBlanc come back, I will ask him.

Hi, slore
Forgive me that I didn't realize the main.bat file is yours.
I'm really ashamed... I examine the batch file and congratulate you
for your wisdom and knowledge.
I wish I could help you about the drivers part, I have a real printer
so if you want me to do something I'm ready.
May be I'm not able to login everyday in this forum but at least 4 times
in a week, I'll be in the forum.
Regards.

Hi, sharp
I created a v2019.07.14 Pre-release WimBuilder2 for testing printer.
https://github.com/slorelee/wimbuilder2/releases

direct download url:
https://github.com/slorelee/wimbuilder2/releases/download/v2019.07.14/WimBuilder2-Full.7z

How use it?
1. mount your Windows10xxxx.ISO
2. Run WimBuilder.cmd. and click the [Browse ...] to select the mounted drive(eg. H:)
3. click [Next] to the Project page
4. click [Next] to the Patch page
5. check and select the [Devices and Printers], select [Printer] in [Devices and Printers] page
6. click [Next] to the Build page
7. click [Build(CMD)] to build, after the building done, click [Make ISO]

The wim is created in WimBuilder2\_ISO_\sources\boot.wim.
The ISO is created in WimBuilder2\_Factory_\BOOTPE.ISO.

boot the ISO, after booting, go to X:\PEMaterial\, run the EnablePrintFeature.bat,
run control to open the control panel, and you can try to add a printer in devices and printer settings.

Regards

I followed your instructions, everything went fine.
But when it comes to testing iso, after booting PE system I saw desktop and
"Configuring System" appeared. Then everything went black, just a black screen.
I waited and waited. After ctrl+alt+delete, task manager window came, I tried to launch explorer
as a new task but nothing happened. In the processes tab, there was usual programs running, except for Explorer.exe
P.S. I write iso file once with Rufus, and once with AIO.

  Which Windows ISO you used? I tested en-US, Zh-cn is fine(RS5, 19H1, 20H1).

I've tested in Win10_1809Oct_v2_English_x64.iso...

Hi, sharp

I tested en_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_1809_updated_march_2019_x64_dvd_72376bfd.iso with index:1 Home, index:6 Pro,
both OK on booting.

CRC32: D8047F73
MD5: AB22088758DBC5A13247FFC64C36F9A8
SHA-1: E448FD3CEB724A924A2AFCE17D80739329C30C74

AND I downloaded a SUMSUNG printer driver, and it can be intalled.


Do you test it on real machine? or vitrual machine?
I'm using VitrualBox to test the ISO.

I tested it on real machine. As far as I know in some cases, VM differs from real ones.
So I usually test PE systems on real machines.
