Group Policy Server 2008 R2

When deploying a printer via group policy, does the policy check to see that the printer is still deployed on the workstation every time the user logs in? It looked like it worked the 1st time I logged in to my workstation, but then I deleted the device from the printers/devices page on my workstation. When I log back in, the device does not come back. Does this mean that if a user deletes the deployed printer, it will never come back via the printer deployment policy? How can I make it so that the policy will replace the deleted printer the next time a user logs in?

Yes, I discovered that if I did a gpupdate /force, the printer would be back again. I would assume that if I would have just waited for the default policy refresh, it would have given the same results. I am good with this.

BTW: I had policy applied to a user ou.
