This seems incorrect.  Printers are local devices, not AD objects.

It depends on what you mean by printer definition.  The definition a users uses 
to print?  The definition that the server uses to share/print?

User definitions are in the user profile, did you get that user's ntuser.dat?
Server definitions are in the system registry, selectively restoring keys from 
a Windows server is interesting and documented elsewhere.

I do not think clustering matters because you cannot cluster a printer unless 
2008 has a new trick.

I don't work much with Windows client support, but I'm surprised at how broad 
that statement is. Are there limitations about the TSM client level (at the 
time of the backup or the time of the recovery) or the Windows version?
