We use automatically generated login scripts from which the printers are 
added. For this, we use the following command:
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /in /q /n\\SERVERNAME\PRINTERNAME

The precise grokking of this has been excellently described in my dead-tree 
version of the official samba-3 howto and reference guide.
