PDF mapping printers

I would like to create a map with an icon of printers throughout our office.  Users will be able to just click the printer icon and it automatically downloads the print driver and adds it.  I am able to get this to work via IE - HTML using \\servername\printer but this doesnt work for Chrome/Firefox hence why I am looking at Adobe PDF.  I tried using javascript but that didnt work unless i am doing it incorrectly.  The code i am using is below:

var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");

var PrinterPath = "\\\\servername\\lj9";

WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(PrinterPath);  

What is the best way to tackle this?  I am very new to acrobat so please bear with me.

Thanks
