I'm trying to map TCP/IP printer connections to my users using GPOs.
I set up the GPO to map 3 different printer connections but it only maps the Printer 1 (the one that's set up as the default printer in the GPO).
To troubleshoot I try attaching a different GPO to the OU (same printers, different one set as default) and it just maps Printer 1 and sets it as default again. I've even tried setting the maps in the Default Domain policy and it still just maps Printer 1 and sets it as default on my computer. I've tried Update, Create and Replace with the same result each time.
Is there some setting getting stuck somewhere that I have to clear in order to get the GPO to map the printers to users correctly??

This was a case of thinking of too many things at the same time. I was messing with the Print and Document Services role about a week ago and inadvertently deleted the printers that I was trying to map. When the GPO tried to find the path \\domain controller\printer to install the driver, it didn't find it and wouldn't map the printer. I'm going to have to make up a checklist here...
