System State Backups

if you did a sys-state backup on a print server would it back-up your printers and permissions?

thanks in advance

System State data: File and Storage Services

The above article does not mention anything about printers, so I would say no.

Yes and no. It will restore the registry data of the printers but not any specific directories and files that the printers would rely on.

thanks for the replies. I'd seen the link on technet but it didnt really shed any light on the issue.

would there be any point using a system state back-up on a print server then? or a file server for that matter - assuming you have a back-up of all your data
