\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Hello Matthew,
\par
\par Thank you for posting.
\par
\par From your post, my understanding on this issue is: You want to know how to backup and restore printers except MS printer clustering. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.
\par
\par Based on my research, Print Migrator 3.1 is the tool that can meet your requirements.
\par
\par You can refer to the KB article below to find the detailed steps for performing the restoration:

\par Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

\par We currently have many printers on 1 server, and are looking for a good
\par method of backup and recovery of printers in AD. I am currently using
\par PrintMig.exe to do a weekly backup of all our printers. Our question is
\par , is there some type of DFSish utility that would allow fault tolerance
\par for printers but not use Microsoft's printer clustering? If this is not
\par possible, how could we restore the printers from the PrintMig tool, but
\par quickly and easily get those printers back out to the users without much
\par or no user interaction?
