rundl 32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n"\Print Server Name\Shared Printer-2"

rundl 32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n"\Print Server Name\Shared Printer-3"

rundl 32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n"\Print Server Name\Shared Printer-4"

rundl 32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n"\Print Server Name\Shared Printer-n"

Or use the following VBS script.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
