Migrate printer queues from NT4 to 2000

[Guest]

Hi,

we do have a n old print server currently running with Windows NT4.0 Server SP6a.
286 queues running on that machine.
We would like to replace that server with a new one allready installed and running with Windows 2000 SP3.
How can we migrate/move/copy easily the 286 queues from the old NT4 machine to the new Windows 2000 box? We initially planned to use the printmig tool from the ressource kit but unfortunately it seems, that the tool can only be used between the same operating systems (NT4 to NT4 or W2K to W2K).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Christian

If I remeber correctly there is a tool called Printer Migrator
(printmig.exe) in the Resource Kit that can do it. It allows you to back up
or migrate any print server on which you have administrative rights.
