How to push out printers without Log On

On you ad server create a batch script to delete and add printers. then use GP manager to run that file.

To Create the batch file, open notepad and use the following to add printers: rundll32 rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \servernameprintername

and to delete printers: rundll32 rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /gd /n \servernameprintername

This needs to be done for all the printers you wish to add or delete. After you create those you need to save the file with the extension of .bat

In group policy manager on the server go to user configuration ->windows settings ->scripts -> logon scripts -> add -> then browse to the file you created. When the users log on the old printers should be removed and the new printers created. You can create various batch scripts and group policies for different users if they require different printers.
