Is there a way to capture the print queues from a Windows NT 4.0 server? We are upgrading all of our old Compaq 1600 server to ML380's and some servers have many print queues defined.
Could someone tell me if these queue are kept in a file format or in a registry entry?
Thanks,
Joe

There is a tool in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit called PRINTMIG.EXE, which is the Printer Migration tool. "This tool performs a complete backup of a Windows NT 4.0-based or Windows 2000-based printer server, including the registry entries and printer drivers, and stores the data in a cabinet (.cab) file. If you want to migrate a printer server configuration between Windows NT 4.0-based or Windows 2000-based printer servers, use this tool to back up the configuration on the current printer server, and then restore the configuration on the destination Windows NT 4.0-based or Windows 2000-based printer server."
This is what you need. Here is the Technet article on this tool Q315983:
