Printmig.exe - Printer migration never looked so good.

Printmig.exe is perhaps the most useful tool to ever come from our friends at Microsoft. The Print Migration utility actually works as advertised, is simple to use, and is free.

What more can you ask for.

Using a few simple clicks, you can (remotely, if you desire) back up all print queues, drivers, ports, and shares from the print server of your choice - it dumps them into a .CAB file that you can store for data protection reasons, use for D/R purposes, etc.

With a few more clicks, you select the target machine of your choice, and can restore all your print queues and have them online in minutes. It's not tied to the hostname, so you can restore them anywhere.
