Shortcut to "printer and faxes" on another computer

Shortcut to "printer and faxes" on another computer I have a print server running windows server 2008 that has about 50 printers on it. In windows XP, I was able to connect to the server using the UNC name and make a shortcut to the "printers and faxes" folder. (For the record, I know that it really isn't a folder, but that's outside the scope of this question.)

"This was bugging me for a long time. I came across this:

Start -> \\PrinterServer

Click on View Remote Printers

Drag the printer icon in the address bar to your desktop or other location

I tried to post images, but I can't for spam protection. :("

"How about UNC browsing to the 2008 server's host share root, \\server\ , and clicking on View Remote Printers

Then you'll see the shared and unshared printers, and have the ability to access File » Server Properties."
