Tony,
I would give a lot of thought to whether or not you really need a
print server. You may be able to just print to IP address's and eliminate
managing a server. When our company had many servers running through print
servers the spoolers would crash causing all the printers to go off line.
Printers are not really important until you have 14 down at once. I will
concede the need for print servers but we try really hard to not have them.
We have one left this server is also a file server and the spooler has blue
screened the server three times this year. With doing it this way you would
definitely have to revisit every machine this time but people would only
have easy access to the printers you wanted them to have. Sorry if this
doesn't address your question just thought it may be helpful.

Subject: Printer Migration
Hi all,
Just curious about the printmig util. I have to move about 14 printers off
of an NT 4 print server to a different server running Windows 2000 server.
Will this utility accomplish what I need without having to revisit all 60+
machines? I read that both servers must be at the same OS level, if this is
the case, I can just upgrade it for the time being (it's being
decomissioned). My main goal though is that I don't want to have to re-visit
the machines. Thoughts?
Cheers,
Tony
