Thanks, best I can find in there is a /q. That hides the little dialog
box that pops up when the printer is added. That gets the job
done...sort of. The users are not bothered by the dialog box but, the
printers are still being installed each time they login regardless of
whether or not they are already installed.
I would still like to be able to check if the printer is installed on
the local machine first.
thanks,

You could use the script below but your users might not
appreciate the delay it introduces into the logon process.
Invoking it remotely and creating a local tell-tale file would
get around the delay.
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2")
Set colPrn = objWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer")
For Each objItem In colPrn
WScript.Echo "Printer name: " & objItem.name & VbCrLf & _
"====================================" & VbCrLf & _
"Port Name: " & objItem.PortName & VbCrLf & _
"Printer State: " & objItem.PrinterState & VbCrLf & _
"Printer Status: " & objItem.PrinterStatus & VbCrLf & _
"PrintJobDataType: " & objItem.PrintJobDataType & VbCrLf & _
"Print Processor: " & objItem.PrintProcessor & VbCrLf & _
"Spool Enabled: " & objItem.SpoolEnabled & VbCrLf & _
"Separator File: " & objItem.SeparatorFile & VbCrLf & _
"Status: " & objItem.Status & VbCrLf & _
"StatusInfo: " & objItem.StatusInfo & VbCrLf & _
"ShareName: " & objItem.ShareName & VbCrLf & _
"Horizontal Res: " & objItem.HorizontalResolution & VbCrLf & _
"Vertical Res: " & objItem.VerticalResolution
WScript.Echo "Work Offline: " & objItem.WorkOffline
