How to silently deploy the PrintPath Printer Monitor Service

In environments where print tracking must occur at each local user workstation (instead of at the print server level), it helps to be able to silently deploy the PrintPath Printer Monitor Service installer to the various user workstations.  Please see below for the appropriate command to install the PrintPath Printer Monitor Service in a silent mode:

  • Windows Installer (MSI): msiexec /i "PrintPath Printer Monitor Service.msi" CMDLINE="SILENT=True ALLUSERS=True SERVERNAME=PRINTPATHSERVER" /quiet

  • Executable (EXE): "PrintPath Printer Monitor Service.exe" SILENT=True ALLUSERS=True SERVERNAME=PRINTPATHSERVER

In the above commands, "PRINTPATHSERVER" represents the name or IP address of the server where PrintPath is installed.  You will need to replace "PRINTPATHSERVER" with the appropriate name or IP address of your server.
