I think as long as the printer share name is the same you will be in good shape if the server has the same name. Make sure to get connectivity to it worked out in DNS or you can have a headache.

We have an NT 4.0 print server with about 180 printers setup on HP JetDirect ports on it for our network. I have just recently built a new Win 2k3 print server on a separate piece of hardware and set it up on the network with a different name. I then created all of the same ports and printers as TCP/IP ports on the new server from scratch. All ports map to the same IP addresses and all printer names are identical on the two servers. At this point nobody has installed any printers from the new print server. Here is my question: if I just take the NT 4.0 print server off of the network, rename the new Win2k3 print server to the name of the NT 4.0 print server and reboot the server; will everyone that has network printers setup from the old NT 4.0 print server have to reinstall their printer in order to print or will they not have to and just be able to print immediately? Has anyone ever done something like this before? Thanks for your help, /jL
