We have a 2000 box currently sharing printers for our domain. The box is being replaced with a newer 2003 computer, with same printers installed and shared , just the server is named differently, i.e. server01 to server02. Time will not allow us to touch each workstation and setup the new printers, as they are all over the country. Is there a way to script removal of the old printers and add the new ones, giving each user the same printers they had, it will just be on the new server instead? Or can we just have the new print server take over these current ones?

At a loss here.
