Does anyone know of a program that will backup printers from one server and allow you to restore tham onto another server??

If you're talking about a few local printers, I'd just re-install them on the new server. Network ports can be difficult; But if the network printer is already deployed; All you have to do is add a "Local Port" with the same IP Address and then install that printer to the new local port. (HP JetAdmin software is a notch below cc:mail on my list of headache applocations.)<br>

You can export the registry key on one server, and then import it on the other one. It's not something that I'd love to do though...
