That's not possible. However, if you run the following line in the logon-
script or as part of your client installation (but logged on as the user)
you can assign the printers that way:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\printserver\printqueue

In addition, you can add a line like this:

WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\%
prints_server_name%\%printer_name%" into a logonscript,
for example.

Setting up first the impersonationlevel=impersonate, the
user will not be advised or asked to do any action. If he
has access, the printer will be added.
