Re-creating Win95 printers at logon

[Walker West]

I am using Samba as my logon script server.  I have been trying to develop a method of creating Windows 95 printers at logon.  If I modify the registry while the machines are logging in, when the script finishes and the desktop loads the printers aren't there.  When the computer is rebooted the printers show up.  Any idea how to get the printers to show up immediately after the registry modifications?

Here's the logon script:
    @echo off
    ECHO KOLBNT4 Domain Logon commencing...
    echo Connecting parallel port 2 to laser...
    net use lpt2 \\proxy\laser
    echo.
    echo Rebuilding desktop printer information...
    z:\kixtart\kix32 z:\kixtart\addprint.scr 

Here are the contents of addprint.scr (NOTE:  kix32 is a tool included with the Windows NT resource kit):

    ; Remove all perisistent connections
    $x=deltree("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\Persistent")
    $x=addkey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\Persistent") 
    ; Remove existing printer entries in win.ini
    $x=writeprofilestring("win.ini","Devices","","")
    $x=writeprofilestring("win.ini","PrinterPorts","","")
    $x=writeprofilestring("win.ini","windows","device","") 
    ; Add new printer to win.ini
    $x=writeprofilestring("win.ini","Devices","Panasonic KX-P4450i", 
        "HPPCL,\\proxy\laser")
    $x=writeprofilestring("win.ini","PrinterPorts","Panasonic KX-P4450i", 
        "HPPCL,\\proxy\laser,15,45")
    $x=writeprofilestring("win.ini","windows","device","Panasonic KX-P4450i, 
        HPPCL,\\proxy\laser")
    ; Remove existing printer entries from the registry
    $x=deltree("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Config\0001 
        \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers")
    $x=deltree("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\ 
        Print\Environments\Windows 4.0\Drivers")
    $x=deltree("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\
        Print\Printers")
    $x=deltree("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ 
        Class\Printer")
    ; Add printer info to registry
    run "regedit /s Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\addprint.reg" 
    ; Copy the printer driver to the WINDOWS directories
    COPY Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\HPPCL.DRV %windir%\SYSTEM\HPPCL.DRV
    COPY Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\FINSTALL.DLL %windir%\SYSTEM\FINSTALL.DLL
    COPY Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\FINSTALL.HLP %windir%\SYSTEM\FINSTALL.HLP
    COPY Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\ICONLIB.DLL %windir%\SYSTEM\ICONLIB.DLL
    COPY Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\UNIDRV.DLL %windir%\SYSTEM\UNIDRV.DLL
    COPY Z:\PRINTERS\KXP4450\UNIDRV.HLP %windir%\SYSTEM\UNIDRV.HLP 
    exit

The contents of addprint.reg are customized versions of the registry trees removed above for the Panasonic KX-P4450i.

Thanks!
