Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

If I install an IP UPD printer via command line, the printer is the standard ugly windows printer icon.

example: "C:\HP Universal Print Driver\pcl6-x64-7.0.1.24923\install.exe" /sm10.128.100.1 /h /q /n"My Printer" /m"HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v7.0.1)"

 

If I install the same IP UPD printer using the UI (and using the same settings and executable as above,) the pretty icon shows up (the one that looks exactly like the printer).

example: (double-click "C:\HP Universal Print Driver\pcl6-x64-7.0.1.24923\install.exe")

 

How do I get the pretty icon to show up when installing via command line?  I can't find any reference to this in the Universal Print Driver System Administrator docs, or via install.exe /?
