something that needs to be scripted or put into the login script?

With Windows Server 2003 R2 you're able to deploy printers via Group Policy natively. But as you're writing in the win2000-newsgroup I assume that you're running a Windows 2000 domain controller which only leaves you the logon script option.

Here's a KB article on this topic:
