Thanks for the great solution, but I did find a couple of issues to let others know about in case they stumble across this as well.

First, when you copy the above code the quotes need to be retyped due to some kind of issue with the font. Otherwise it works great.

Secondly, the script did not seem to work for me when specifying a network printer. I had to create the network printer as a “local” printer for this to work. I tried using the actual display name in the Printers dialog as well as the name of the printer on the server and also the share name. Nothing seemed to work until I created the network printer as local.

Otherwise GREAT workaround.
