Pushing Network shared printers to users automatically

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


I am migrating all of the office's printers from Netware 6.5 to a Windows 2003 print server.

Now Netware had this cool thing called "Remote Printer Management" which, using group membership allowed me to automatically install or uninstall specific printers automatically when the user logged in.

I've been looking for similar functionality in the Windows, figuring it would be some kind of Group Policy.

I'm having no luck, not even by searching technet.

Does anyone automatic printer deployment exist in Windows? Could I have a pointer, please?

Thanks
