Have Sco unix 5.0.2 Have had to create a copy of this server as it keeps crashing. How do I copy the printers across without setting them all up from scratch?

Are these all network printers? If so, I believe you can recreate them by copying over all of the /usr/spool/lpd/ directories, the /var/spool/lp/admins//lp/printers/ directories, and the /etc/hosts files. I'm not sure if you'll have to enable and accept them all individually though.
