Take a look at the Chgprint utility in the res kit. Of course I am assuming that you are running NT 4.

Subject: Printer redirects
I am bring up a new server that I want to move printers and data on to. My
question is, is there a way to redirect the printers on the old server to
queues on the new server? I do not want to have to touch each machine that
has a printer pointing to the old server. This is something I want to do
over time.
We only use TCP/IP for our printers and I have already created the queues on
the new server. I know I can leave the old queues active, but I do not want
to maintain two separate queues for the same printer. This would confuse the
Helpdesk when it came to a user calling about a hung print job. I have
looked at Sunbelt's Print Manager Plus, to see what it would do. It looks
like it will only move the job to the new, which keeps 2 queues and a chance
of a hang up.
Thanks
