Can you map a network printer with a batch file?

I am wondering if it is possible to map to a network printer by having a batch file perform certain commands. If not is there another way to have a printer automatically mapped by simply clicking on a file/button?

I use several different scripts at work to map network printers. Works great. Here is a great source.
