Update on this. Found a vbscript that will do this. Will use GPO to run at
user logoff.

***
' will delete mapped printers where the name contains UNC prefix "\\"
On Error Resume Next
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
strComputer = "."
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Printer where
Name Like '\\%'")
For Each objItem in colItems
objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection (objItem.Name)
Next
