Using the DellOPD Installer from the Command Line

Like all Windows Installer MSI packages, the Dell Open Print Driver installer (DellOPD.msi) can be run
from the Windows command line. The command-line syntax is:

msiexec.exe {/i | /x | /f} DellOPD.msi [/q{n|b|r|f} [/l ‘log-file’] [properties]

where:

/i

Indicates that the Dell Open Print Driver is to be installed

/x

Indicates that the Dell Open Print Driver is to be uninstalled

/f

Indicates that the Dell Open Print Driver is to be repaired

/qn

Indicates that the installer is to be run silently. Note that on an uninstall or a repair,

the installer will automatically restart the computer on completion

/qb

Indicates that the installer will run with a minimal user interface (progress bar only)

/qr

Indicates that the installer will run with a reduced user interface

/qf

Indicates that the installer will run with a full user interface (this is the default)

/l

Causes the installer to log its activities to the specified log file. See the Windows SDK

documentation for the full list of logging sub-options.
