Are they shared off servers as well or are they standalone (but networked jobbers)?

In that case:
CSCRIPT \\server04\c$\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\server04\Kyocera FS-3820N"
Should do the trick
Otherwise if you have an active directory add that into a login script but sub in \\server04\c$\windows for %windir%

If that's an AD login script, change the
CSCRIPT \\server04\c$\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\server04\Kyocera FS-3820N"
to
CSCRIPT %windir%\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p "\\server04\Kyocera FS-3820N"

I wrote a login script that used to map printers depending on group membership.
So being a member of say "ggSales" would map printers in and around the sales department. If this is of interest I can try and find it, hopefully I'll have archived it somewhere.

I was actually doing this for the first time about 3 days ago so your timing is quite remarkable!

If you follow that script I linked, it is creating the DSN by writing to the registry. You could easily reverse engineer it, so to speak.
Create a valid Advantage DSN.
Find it in the registry.
Alter the code of the script to write the Advantage DSN registry keys (it will have extra keys and things I think)
Put code in login script.
...
Profit
Edit: Oh you fixed it as I was typing this.
