# Install Printer Driver Silently

## Executable \[.exe] Script

Windows drivers can be installed remotely and silently using an executable \[.exe] script. This particular example is for an **Epson XP420 Printer Driver**, but the principle is the same for any driver for a windows computer.

### Install Drivers Silently Script

This script will download and install the **Epson XP420** silently on a computer.
