what printers are installed on my windows 2000 Terminal server?

Guys,

After installing the printer drivers on the server ( windows 2000 Terminal
server) for the printers that my clients use i would delete them from the
"printers and faxes" , now that we are moving over to another windows 2003
box i dont know any of the printer drivers that were installed on this box,
below are my questions :

1. Is there any way other then just visually looking at the "printers and
faxes" section to know what printers are installed on my windows 2000
Terminal server now ?

2. Is there any i can just copy/ move the printer files from old server to
new server and dont need to go through the whole process of downloading the
drivers from the internat and installing them.

thanks

sameer

Re: what printers are installed on my windows 2000 Terminal server

hey , seems that this will do the job, i am just a little worried how it will
behave if it finds new printer drivers for the same printer.

thanks for your help
