OK, I worked out a way to achieve what I want with out checking ou membership.
I decided to apply the policy on the Compuer Config \Admin\ System\ Logon\ Run
These Program at user logon. And this seems to work, except I am missing
something. And because I think this uses a system account to run the script,
there might not be issues with inadequate permissions, but again I might be
wrong.
Thanks
Patrick Allanah

If there are only seven printers, just set the group perm's on the printer
share. It will for sure minimize any problems in the scripts themselves, at
least it did for me.
When it comes to scripting with vb I stand on the shoulders of others. Google
is your friend 8-), just make sure to use google.com/Microsoft. Using that,
will get you more MS-centric hits.
