Tranferring Printers from one server to another?

[DFWood]

Does anyone know how to transfer printers from one server to another?, we have an NT 4 Stand Alone Server which is our main File and Print server but is running low on disk space. We have bought a new server and have installed NT 4 Server server onto it and configured it to be the same as the last one, but we need to know hoe to transfer all the printers onto it with out re-installing them.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Dan

Check out mskb Q214795. It uses a RK utility to migrate the settings. In your IE browser address, just type in:

You can also try u sing the printer migrator, which can be found in the NT 4.0 Resource Kit. The file is a printmig.exe. It's a GUI utility that allows you to backup printers on one server to a CAB file (including reg entries, drivers, etc...the whole nine yards) and then restore those settings to another server. Very easy to use
