Auto install networked printer on new computers

Setting up a new copier in the office next week.  Will network it with a static IP.   Windows 2008 R2 environment.  What do I do on the server side of things so the new copier will auto install on each computer I setup on the domain? (group policy?)  What about computers that are already on the domain, will gpupdate/force work?

Setup printer/copier on print server, then you can use group policy to run a batch file. Batch file should look like this "start \\printServer\printerName"

Where do I run the script in group policy? Can you give step-by-step instructions on how to add that to group policy? First time doing something like this.
Sorry, I meant to say why do I add the script in group policy
