Here is a script I got earlier on today. You need to copy it into notepad and save as VBS then put it as a logof script

' RemovePrinterConnection.vbs - Windows logon script
' VBScript to - Network Printer
' Author Guy Thomas

http://computerperformance.co.uk/

' Version 1.4 - April 24th 2005
' ------------------------------------------------------'
Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork, strUNCPrinter
strUNCPrinter = "\\JANUS\ICT LAB 5500N"

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
' Section which removes the network printer
objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection strUNCPrinter

'WScript.Echo "Check Printers folder NO: " & strUNCPrinter
Wscript.Quit

' Guy's Logon Script ends here

Ps. is it at all possible to use wildcards for the computername.

Why do you need to use wildcards? The script examples in my FAQ will work on any PC you apply the script to.

I hope you find this post helpful.
