W2K Printing

[bob]

We use a W2K server as a Print Server with 200 Printers configured.
Is there a file or Registry entry of some kind we can backup so if
another tech accendently deletes printers we can restore the file and
get the printers back? The Spooler was stopped today and it appeared
all the printers were gone but restarting the spooler brought them back,
and this was scarry contemplating how we were going to remember 200 IP
addresses and so on.

Printer settings are are over the place in the registry. You might want to
consider simply keeping an online list of printers which includes Name, MAC
Address, and IP number for easy reference. And keep a file with a
configuration page for each printer for details.
