Move Printers and Print Server to a different server

I am looking to move my printers to a different server. The operating
system on the new server is the same as the existing server (Windows 2003).

Can I simply re-create the printers on the new server with the same name and
information or do I need to migrate the printers (somehow)?

Once the printers are moved, will I need to have my users delete and re-add
their printers? I am hoping to avoid having the users delete/add the
printers but if this is required then I have no choice.

If you have any questions please let me know.
