Hi, what you need is an old microsoft application that called printer migration tool 3.1. It isnt supported anymore but works (as long as you dont have over a few 100 printers (it stores everything as a CAB file when moving so if you have too many then the cab file grows over its maximum size and the app crashes).<br />

Printer migration from Win Server 03 x86 To Win Server 08 x64

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
