Hmm, it seems to me that it is how such command works:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /y /ga /in /n \\server\SOME_PRINTER

But maybe I just used wrong flags and your VB script is "all-in-one".

Try to change the script so that it logs some of it actions in a file.
Then, you will know when and why it gets stuck.
