The issue mainly deals with driver install and the rights of who will be running this script/batch file.
There are other examples online.
Though in ad environment, GPO/GPP is better managed including providing you the flexibility of pulling, reallocating printers from a centra tall management.

I am using Print Server, I don't want to push it through the GPO as that will fall back the responsibility to admins, I want to have a batch file and the technicians can just run it for the users. I hope that can work.
Thanks again
Thanks again
please clarify the fall back, you could define the techs as printer admins. delegating them the rights to manage printer deployment.

Domain ad GPO/GPP can be used to push printers to clients.
Are you using a print server that will distribute the drivers?
