Hello,
Does the Server 2003 System State backup on BUE 12.5 contain the information nessecary to restore network print ques?
Is there any way to restore network printers?
Thanks,
Jeff

Usually print queues are cleared almost immediately so they are unlikely to be backed up.

The configuration of the printer should be part of the System State so can only really be restored as part of a DR operation. In reality how long does it take you to setup a printer if you know the settings so for accidental deletion of a printer you probably should think about good documentation more than a good backup.
The print queue data itself is likely to be part of Active File Exclusion as it is transient data that is not normally needed for backups - after all if you don't get a print out of a document you can just print it again to a different printer and how often do you want to DR a Print Server and actually have all the printers start spitting out old queued documents...
