Yeah, I've read that. And done it.

I think this is the part that I just wanted to verify:

-------------------
In most cases, a new print server will not affect other computers in
the enterprise. Existing client connections may be corrupted if you
make a change to any of the following print server properties:

The print server name

The printer name

The print share name

The share permissions

The printer’s availability to the server
-------------------

I'm not changing any of those, so I should be OK. Still not sure if I
should unpublish and unshare from the old server first, Just In Case.
That's really what I am asking ...

AH HA! And I didn't read closely enough ... <

When you restore printers to the destination server, do not publish
printers to AD DS. This prevents duplicate printers from being
displayed by AD DS before the destination server configuration is
verified.

On the source server, you must unpublish printers before renaming the
source server. To do this, select all printers in the Print Management
snap-in, right-click the selected printers, and then click Remove from
Directory. This prevents printers from being published twice to AD DS
when the source server is renamed.

After renaming the destination server to the source server’s original
name, you can publish all printers on the destination server to AD DS.
To do this, select all printers in the Print Management snap-in,
right-click the selected printers, and then click List in directory.

There you go, that's what I needed. Confirmation to do exactly what I
was planning to do anyway. :-)

Thanks
