these are "user" connections written to the user registry. You need to use
rundll32. This can be performed remotely as well.

Add per machine printer connection (the connection will be propagated to
the user upon logon):
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\machine /n\\machine\printer
/j"LanMan Print Services"
Delete per machine printer connection (the connection will be deleted
upon user logon):
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /gd /c\\machine /n\\machine\printer
Enumerate per machine printer connections:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge /c\\machine
