I guess this runs as a startup script rather than a logon script?

I use the below vb-script. Assuming you have your computers in OU:s depending
on location, you can easily tweak the script and link them to each OU. That
way, whenever you move a computer it'll get the proper printer based on the
location.
Was this what you wanted?
---
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
'Adding new printer queues
'wscript.echo "Adding new printer queues."
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\computername\CanoniR5055N"
---
The remove printer queue is
---
WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection "\\computername\CanoniR5055N"
---
Pls note that there are no fancy error checks whatsoever, it's just a crude
quick'n'dirty script I got from somebody on this list.
