Print Server problem ?

Question guys:
Our Print Server (Windows 2003,SCSI) is acting up and we want to build a new Print Server and move all printers over.

Now, we don't want to reinstall/load each printer. Is there any way where we can move all printer files over without having each one installed. any way to make a backup of all printers on the server?

next question, where are all files stored? Which files we have to move?

hope these little information can help to solve this problem
 
Go to the MS site and download printmig.exe (printer migration tool). It will enable you to migrate your printers from one server to another. Bare in mind though if your problems on the existing print server are being caused by bad/corrupt print drivers you may just be migrating your problem to new hardware. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks bro,.. this helpd a lot. Looks like that we have to reload all printers since the problems came up after a update on the printers.

I love you guys :)
