My work computer is on a network domain.
I have many printers installed on my computer.
Is there a way to transfer those printers to anther computer just like the
Windows Files and Settings Transfer Wizard? I do not want to install all the
printers every time my computer is cloned with a standard image, or I would
like to install the printers on another computer like my laptop or a computer
that may be in another location. I provided technical support for my school
and use many different computers in the school.

Thanks

Don't know how well this might work:

Share out all the printers on your computer, then install them as network
printers on the new computer. This should cause windows to copy over the
printer driver. Once you have the printer driver on the new computer, if you
plug in the printer as a local printer, windows may automatically use those
printer driver that was copied over via the network.
 
I should have mentioned the printers are all network printers. They have an
IP address.
