   Have a look at the "Workplace Shell Programming Reference":   
   "WPPrinter" class has a bunch of setup keynames:   
   PRINTDRIVER   
   PORTNAME   
   QUEUENAME   
   QUEUEDRIVER   
      
   The "Model name" would most likely also be the title of the WPS object.   
      
   If you want to know the format of the strings to pass along, use regedit2.exe   
   -> HINI_SYSTEM_PROFILE -> PM_SPOOLER_DD   
                           -> PM_SPOOLER_PORT   
                           -> PM_SPOOLER_QUEUE_DD   
                           -> PM_SPOOLER_QUEUE   
                           -> PM_SPOOLER_QP   
      
   With a little trial and error you should be able to figure out the correct   
   strings for the setup keynames.   
      
   Example: PRINTDRIVER would be something like "ECUPS.Epson PX 101" and PORTNAME   
   would be "CUPS4".   
   For QUEUEDRIVER that would likely be "PMPRINT" (if you use the default queue   
   processor \OS2\DLL\PMPRINT.QPR)   
   What you specify as QUEUENAME will end up as a subdirectory created under   
   \var\spool. It's the place where   
   the spooled print jobs will be placed. For example QUEUENAME would be   
   "Epson_Px101".   
      
   See also all the other setup keywords. You will need to use additional ones to   
   achieve a "silent installation".
