There isn't a lot to tell. A small application is launched from our login
script. It connects to an MSSQL database and obtains a list of NT print
queues associated with the client machine name. For each one it launches
con2prt.exe to make the connection before terminating quietly. At the admin
end we have integrated support for the database into our helpdesk
application so all we have to do is select the client machine name from the
helpdesk and enter the HYPERLINK "file://\\\\server\\share"\\server\share
name of the relevant print queue.
We've been using it since the old NT4TSE days and it's served us well.

That sounds nice. Can you tell us a little more?

We don't allow users to add printers. All our servers run a little app that
maps print queues at login, based on machine entries in an MSSQL database.
The IT dept has a GUI utility to assign print queues to machines or users so
adding a printer amounts to nothing more than making a database entry. It
works well for us.

How do those of you who use published apps exclusively (which would be like
95%) handle printing as it relates to user's needing to add a printer?
