yes id try the generic driver first but some printers are a pain to install on networks and the only way to do it is manually to add them as local printers and then change the port/ip settings but when you do it that way then it auto ticks the bidirectional part and thats where the problem most likely lies

they should automatically redirect to the new location as offline files should get the settings frm AD, the best way for you would be to create a test staff user and try on that username first so you know what issues you will get and hopefully get tehm resolved before the final move. let us know how you get on though...

hi mate, go to the printer on the server click on properties then the ports tab and UNCHECK where it says enable bidirectional printing, because the printer has it enabled on itself (hardwarewise) and server 2008 also has it enabled it basically stops printing after the first print. let me know how it goes
