To be sure - Unless they are moving and unless they used UNC paths instead
of IP's and the UNC is changing (ie new/different server)

Yes, but in most cases, ports are set once and done with. There's usually
never
a need to change the IP address of a plotter or printer. It's more likely
that
you replace dead plotter A with just slightly less dead plotter B, which
means
you have to rebuild the PC3 from scratch.
Which is why I asked the question, since I've had to do this many times in
the
past.
