Try
net use \\printserver\IPC$ stupid /user:doh\really /persistent:yes
This net use command connects to the hidden share called IPC$ on the
printserver (not the printer on the printserver), using the username and
password supplied thus establishing the credentials for all subsequent
connections from the client computer to the printserver computer. Then,
later, when you attempt to connect to the printer on the printserver
computer, the client has already been "authenticated" by printserver using
the credentials you supplied on the net use command, so the connection to
the printer will be permitted.
Well, anyway, that's the theory and it usually works!
