Microsoft Print Migrator 3.1

Have you ever had to migrate printers from an old print server to a new one?  I have, although never on a very large scale.  I will be doing this at a client site (migrating from an old Windows 2000 Server machine to a new Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition machine), and was hoping to automate the process.

It turns out, Microsoft has a tool I had never heard of before, the Microsoft Print Migrator 3.1.  This tool reads the configuration off of an old print server, creates a CAB file with the settings, and allows you to restore those settings on a new server.  This includes converting non-standard TCP/IP port monitors (e. g. Lexmark MarkVision) to standard TCP/IP port monitors. 

If it doesn't work, I'll post that fact.  Otherwise, a nice tool.
