Suggestions on how to migrate Per Machine Printers?

I have several machines that are set up with per-machine printers.

We are now retiring one of the print servers and need to change the
clients that were printing to the old server to the new server.

In the past, I have used the chgprint utility to move printers set up
by users from one print server to another, but what do I do about per
machine printers.

Does CHGPRINT detect that a printer is set up as per machine and change
that printer also, or is its use limited to per user printers? If it
needs to change Per machine printers, I would assume it needs to be run
as an admin rather than a normal user. Could I run it with the machine
account in the machine's startup scripts?

So I have a number of machine that have a per machine network printer
setup, \\Server1\Printer45 and I want to change all those machines so
that the per machine printer is set up as \\server2\Printer45. This
change should be made the next time the machine boots.
