we just did the same thing - here's a vbs script written by our crack script
kiddie
On Error Resume Next
Dim objWMIService, objNetwork
Dim colItems
Dim strComputer, strNewServer
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = "."
strNewServer = "Your_New_Print_Server_Name_Here"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Printer",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
If lcase(objItem.ServerName) =
"*\\y*our_old_print_server_name_here<file://your_old_print_server_name_here/>"
then
objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection objItem.ServerName & "\" &
objItem.ShareName, true, true
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\" & strNewServer & "\" &
objItem.Sharename
End If
Next
