I replied to this exact same post on the
microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory group.

There is not a built in way of doing this, but, it's an easy thing to script
in a logon script. Check out the TechNet script center for examples -
www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter. Something like this would work:

Dim net
Set net = Wscript.createObject("Wscript.Network")
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection("\\PrintServer1\SomePrinter")

IP printer distribution is quite a bit more involved than a shared printer
connection. Policy Maker Professional includes a printers extension that
supports IP (and shared) printer connections, including local port creation
and driver installation.

What would be the best way to go at writing a script or just having the
users add their printer in one time. With a script won't it slow down their
logon process.

Thanks Kevin
 
Kevin-

You're not going to notice the amount of time it takes to do this in script.
I do five or ten printers and it's quite speedy.
