I put this into the user section "logon script"(The OU only contains the
Computer that I am trying to affect) and the policy does not get applied, I
assume the user section does not work on computers. I do not want to put the
users into the OU because I want the computer to be tied to a network
printer, not the user.

I found a script that reports to connect a PC to a network printer
(www.microsoft.com/technet/community/scritpcenter/printing/scrprn01.mspx) but
it has to be run on the local printer, I would like to use Active directory
to do this if poss .
