Maybe use printmig -b to snap a backup of the printer setup to a cab file beforehand too?

Rather than taking a product system off the net or causing other issues with the P2V accordingly.

I have an analyst that needs to get some new printers built on their application/print server and HP's site only has print drivers for the Windows 2003, XP and Windows 7/2008 systems but nothing for a Windows 2000 system, and I am a little leery of putting Windows 2003 based drivers on this old Windows 2000 SP4 system and blowing it up, and having to restore from tape backup accordingly. Any ideas, I rather not blow up a server to satisfy this persons curiosity...
