Migrate Print Server

[PSRebeck1965]

We have a Win2003 server that is about to die on us and it currently runs the print server. Is there a way to migrate that to another win2003 server without having to manually transfer all printers?

When using this tool, will users have to re-add network printers after the migration?

You can script that with vbs.

Also keep in mind that the print migrator doesn't like unsigned drivers (and won't install them). You also can't migrate from a 32bit server to a 64bit server.
