If you only need this for one server, I'm not sure it's worth the effort. But I used PlateSpin's Migrate for all of our P2P and P2V conversions. Chris Bodnar, MCSE Sr. Systems Engineer Distributed Systems Service Delivery - Intel Services Guardian Life Insurance Company of America

There is no need to do this from your workstation. RDP to the print server and load the drivers as you normally would and when prompted, provide the path to the 32-bit driver files. Chris Bodnar, MCSE Sr. Systems Engineer Distributed Systems Service Delivery - Intel Services Guardian Life

I'm pretty sure unless it was configured for remote access, which it probably wasn't, there is no way to do it without touching the machine first. As mentioned, something like Tiny is your easiest way to go. Don't suppose you have the SYSTEM.INI or PROTOCOL.INI documented for this system?
