This is some great advice.  I really appreciate it.  Unfortunately it looks like for some reason while my log off script is behaving, my log on/import script is not doing anything. 

I have unfortunately stumbled into an environment with a bunch of DNS added devices and no print servers, so I need to figure something out.  I actually did go ahead and set up a print server for a new site and configured point and print to allow users to manage print devices in a limited manner, but no matter what I do, printers do not retain in user profiles.  I've tried everything I could find online for DEM on this, and the printers just disappear.  So instead I used the DEM printer mappings for these devices which work great... except users cannot keep a default printer.  That's what led me to your post.

I feel like no matter what I do with this it's 2 steps forward, 2 steps back and I end up in the same place.

I also set up Location Based Printing, which does actually work nicely, but also doesn't seem to allow users to manage default printers.  It's also not something that I think will scale super well since our subnets aren't organized enough for it, aside from smaller site locations.  I don't really want a 4 story building where users on floor #1 have printers on floor #4 mapped to them.  Of course, our subnets/ip ranges are only really broken down to location/building and nothing more precise, so that's basically how that would work, functionally.

Edit: I also suppose this was post necromancy, sorry about that...
