I’m trying to set printer connections in a per-computer base using GPO.
I’ve started building a script to install a set o printer in each group. The
script was debugged and tested, and it works fine.
The script was set to run from computer policy in the group policy for those
computers.
The GPO is running with loopback, set to merge, and synchronously.
As far as I can figure, everything should be working, but it’s not!
All valid GPO are applied, the script seems to run but the printers do not
show in the printer folder
I’ve included echo output for debugging and it works as it should, still the
printer connections are not set
If will be much appreciated…

The connection should occur when the next user logs on. I assume you are
using rundll32 with /ga switch to install the per machine connection and the
logged on user can manually add the connection without any point and print
restriction policy dialog.

Verify it's added to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers

The value will use , rather than \
