Distribute TCP/IP HP Jetdirect settings accross user profiles

Hello,

I work in a DOMAIN environment at a school campus, we have a PRINT
server for all our needs.

Right now, we have the printers mapped into the NTuser.dat of default
profile. And that's how our networked printers work for all users on
campus under the domain.

However, we need to setup counter-measures in case the Print server
goes down. For this we have HP JETDIRECT utility, which basically
setups a driver on the Windows XP machine and the port for the printer
is a TCP/IP address under the label "HP JETDIRECT PORT XXXX" where X
are random numbers.

Is there an easy way to add the HP Jetdirect configuration onto 1
computer and then distribute it massively accross other computers? I
can easily modify any default printer settings/mapped printers by
modifying the NTUSER.dat file.

However, the way windows XP treats HP Jetdirect as an actual printer
(or so it sees it as) I am unsure.

Thanks
.
