windows-server-2003

I have a Windows 2003 print server that I need to retire.

Through variaous methods (login scripts, etc) I think that I had everyone migrated off of this server and connected to the new print server.

Having said that, I'd like to make sure before taking the server down :-)

Is there a script that I can run to query a remote workstations in my domain to see what printer shares it is connected to?
