I use con2prt.exe to connect network printers via a logon script file -
parameters defined here.

CON2PRT: Lets the user disconnect all existing connections to Windows
NT
printers and connect to newly specified Windows NT printers.

Usage: CON2PRT [ /? | /h | /f |
[/c \\printserver\share | /cd
\\printserver\share]+]
where:

/? - displays usage.
/h - displays usage.
/f - deletes all existing printer connections.
/c - connects to \\printserver\share printer.
/cd - connects to \\printserver\share printer and sets it as the
default
printer.
