need a scrip to connect to printers in windows 2003

Ok the dirves map on the workstation , but he printers don't connect. When I click on the scrip on the server itself, the drives man and the printers also connect. I did put the con2prt.exe in the scripts folder next to the script.
I pused the script and noticed that when it gets to the printers , I get the following error:

con2prt.exe is not a recognized as an internal command.

The logon scrip with con2prt.exe fials.

netcomp:
When we copy and past the con2prt.exe int the system 32 folder of each windows XP compuer the scrip works with the pritners, but we can't go to each computer and do that. What should we do . Thank you for your help

You need to specify the shared path to the con2prt.exe file, eg. \\<server>\netlogon\con2prt.exe.....

tried that , but it does not work
Do the users have read&execute rights to the share and the NTFS folder? it might also help if we could see the section of code used to map the printers.
