I will assume you extracted the necessary files from the cabs and placed
them in C:\INF\HP4345PCL6.


Have you attempted this using a flat file set (all binaries expanded)? Give
it a shot at least.

Yes

The port name you are adding is not the port name you are assigning the
printer
-r IP_1 in prnport.vbs
-r IP_165.245.192.245 in prnmngr.vbs
