Mapped printers are retained in the users profile(s) - assuming you have
some kind of persistent profiles.
As to searching in AD - well by default it's assumed you would be using
some subnet rationale, but you could search on some other criteria -
although I'd suggest that the search interface isn't the most intuitive
for normal users.
However, if they know the printer name - then that's easily searchable
via the printer applet.
Anything more automated, and as always it's the rationale or algorithm
that are the trickier things to define.
