You need to do this to install the server copy of the printer driver.  
When you run your rundll command with the /in flag, it looks for the 
driver as it has been installed using (more or less) the procedure 
above.  This is how it's done, not with what you said about 'putting the 
driver in /blah/X32HP200C'.  When you do the install command from a 
login script there is no 'going there and clicking here', just a status 
box that disappears all by itself.

You should probably grab yourself a copy of '...By Example' by whatever 
means you like and bone up on the printing sections.  You can start here 
if you don't know where to find it.

If you didn't join the domain then how exactly is the login script being 
run?!?!?
