Attempting to write Applescript to create network print queues

Question

I work for a university in the U.S. and I am attempting to create an Apple Script that will be used to add network printers to over 500 Macs. As part of the setup script, I need to be able to retrieve the user's Windows domain login, which may or may not be same as their local login (that's an entirely separate project), and I will need to ask the user for a name of the nearest printer to them.
I successfully created a bash shell script that does the job, but management would like for the interface to be 'cleaner' and don't want to have users go to a terminal to run the printer setup. I've managed to translate some of the shell script to Apple script, and what I've got so far makes the login and printer information retrieval 'cleaner'. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to finish the rest of it in order for me to setup the print queues using the data gathered during the set part of the script.
Here is the shell script:
#!/bin/bash
#get login from user
echo "Type your network login:"
read login
stty_orig='stty -g'
echo "Enter the name of a nearby Canon Printer:"
read canonprint
#add the print queues
echo "Adding unsecured Canon print queue"
lpadmin -p CanonPrint -v lpd://$login@printserver/$canonprint -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/CNMCIRAC5250S2.ppd.gz -E
echo "Adding secured Canon print queue"
lpadmin -p CanonPrintSecure -v lpd://$login@printserver/CanonPrint-Secure -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/CNMCIRAC5250S2.ppd.gz -E
exit 0
So far, I've got this much written up in Apple Script:
set Login to ""
set CanonPrint to ""
set dialog_1 to display dialog "Enter your login" default answer "" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
set dialog_2 to display dialog "Enter the name of a nearby Canon printer" default answer "" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
set SUNetID to the text returned of dialog_1
set CanonPrint to the text returned of dialog_2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use do shell script
set nLogin to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter network login" with icon note default answer "" with title "Network login" with hidden answer)
set CanonPrint to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the name of a nearby Canon Printer" with icon note default answer "" with title "Canon Printer")
set stty_orig to do shell script "stty_orig -g"
do shell script "lpadmin -p" & space & CanonPrint & space & "-v lpd://$login@printserver/$canonprint -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/CNMCIRAC5250S2.ppd.gz -E"
