Personally, I wrote a pice of software almost a year ago which did this
for 200 Windows boxes in a novell environment. The problem was that each Windows 9x / NT box had a few printers installed (manually :) and we were about to move to another location. The solution was some registry-hacking....
[I believe there's about 3 places Windows stores information about its printers
in the registry, in addition you'll have to look at the .ini files as well..]
