Change printer IP address

We have several shared network printers connected to a Win2k3 server. I need
to change the static IP address on most of these devices. I know I will have
to also change the port address in printer properties on the server, but
what I didn't expect was that the workstations connecting initally thru
\\servername\printershare are now using what appears to be a TCP/IP port
configured on their local machines.

Is there anyway I can change the IP address of the device without having to
visit each workstation and either reconnect or reconfigure the printers?

If they are doing that,...then they aren't using the Share. Those are two
completely different methods. On our system I had to visit each machine. There
may be ways with GPO or other things, but in the long run,..I fugured I could
visit every machine and be done with it in less time then it would take me to
learn, understand, plan, deploy, & perfect any of the other methods.
