Migrating Windows 2003 (x64) print server to newly built Windows 2008 R2 server

Currently I have a Windows 2003 SP2 print server that is servicing our facility, the workstations are Windows 7 (x64). I have been tasked to migrate the printer info (printers, queues, drivers, ports, monitors) to a newly build Windows 2008 R2 . I know that PrintMig does not work with Windows 2008 and above, so I must use the new tool.

Does anyone have a current instruction sheet or a link I can access to complete this project?

Thanks in Advance,

Jim V.

Hi,

Print Migrator is no longer supported by Microsoft. The Printer Migration Wizard and the Printbrm.exe command-line tool to replace it.
