How do I create a group policy to automatically install printers on client PC's?

We are migrating from Novell to an all Microsoft environment. Using Novell I was able to make a printer policy that could be applied to a group and it would install whatever printers I designate upon login. Now I have 500+ clients that need to have Microsoft printers installed on them, but I have yet found a way to automatically install them without going client to client. I don't have the manpower to complete such a large individual installation and I would like to know if anyone knows if Active Directory and Group Policy can be configured to automatically install designated printers to a group of users or printers? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
