To rule out GPO, can you move a test user and computer object to an OU with Block Inheritance and see if the printer still gets mapped?

RSOP does show a login.bat file being applied. Nothing in there w/ the share name of the printer either. The batch file does call a WSF file, and I checked in there, but again no reference to this particular printer (many others though). Still digging...

I am trying to figure out how this printer continues to get installed, and stop this from happening. Here's what I've narrowed it down to so far... remove printer, reboot, log into LAN, printer reappears - suggests GPO, but I can't find any GPO even referencing this printer. remove printer, reboot, log into Laptop offline, printer reappears - Offline, meaning not connected to the LAN at all (wired or wireless) remove printer, *log off*, log into laptop offline, printer does not appear reboot, log into laptop offline, printer reappears - after a reboot, the printer comes back. Windows 8.1 2008R2 domain Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
