Subj : Re: Printer Migration To : Chris Coates From : Geo. Date : Fri Feb 23 2001 10:53 am From: "Geo." Chris, I would not even attempt to do it. Going from one NT4 machine to another NT4 I might give something like this a try (instructions at http://www.nthelp.com/40/pqueue.htm) but going from NT4 to W2K where they even use different drivers I would never attempt something like that. Bite the bullet and do it the right way, it will probably be less work in the long run and probably work out better. Geo.
