Printers Gone

by blackdiamond . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

Hey,

One of our domain controllers running Windows Server 2000 went down when two drives in the RAID failed. The server had to be reloaded after the drive replacement.

There were a ton of shared printers on this server. We are trying to restore them from tape but are having little success.

We restored everything under the C:\WINNT\system32\spool folder, but that appears to be only the drivers.

Is there a way to get these restored without having to manually reinstall all of them?

We are not sure where this info is stored and have not been able to find much when doing web searches.
