I use KixStart script (soon to be replaced by vbscript) off Microsoft's
Resource Kit.
Just put in your script something like the following and you'll be all set.
This will install the necessary drivers too.
Assign Printers by Workstation Name.
if @wksta="Office-5" or "Office-3"
? "Adding HP5 Printer Connection"
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\servername\HP5")
endif
Assign Printers by User Name.
if @userid="user1"
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\servername\HP720c")
endif

Subject: Network printing
Hi all,
I got a bunch of printers (HP LaserJet 5SI, HP 4000TN, HP 4, Lex
Optra S, Lex Optra T and Lex Optra E) and they are networked. My print
server is a NT 4.0 Sp6a and my workstation are W98, WinNT WS 4 Sp6a and
Win2k Pro Sp2.
I would like to know what do you do to assign a printer to a user?
Do you map it in the login script depending if they are member of a
group, or you let the user map the printer?
Because for now, with POLEDIT, my users aren't able to map their
printer, I must do it.
Since I have printers with or without duplex unit, mailbox,
stampler, etc... I don't know how I can manager to dynamically assign a
printer to a user (or computer)
