I highly recommend that you learn all this on a SEPARATE, non-production environment until you get a hang of it. VBscript/ADSI (nay, any scripting) can be VERY much like sky-diving. If you ever have to say "ooops!", it is usually too late.

Awesome, that worked! Since this is a login script, should I then have
a logoff script that removes it when the user signs off or will it
automatically be removed when they sign off? I just wan't to avoid any
possible errors like it saying when the user logs back in next time
that the printer already exists or having it duplicate itself when the
user logs back in because it runs the login script again. Maybe I don't
have to worry about this?
