I am pretty sure printers are a little more involved than just copying
some files. Scheduled Tasks are pretty easy.

Maybe if you try to ask your question a different way and/or explain
what you are trying to accomplish you will get some ideas.

Do you need to just backup and save some settings on a single computer
once you have them the way you want, do you want to take some printer
and tasks that you know work and propagate them out to a bunch of
different computers, do you need to be able to quickly reapply or
reset some settings that have gotten somehow messed up...

Good.

I thought later it might improve your confidence and understanding of
the STs to copy one from c:\windows\tasks (they are just files) to
another folder, delete the original, reboot, verify the original ST is
really gone, bring the copy back where it belongs, test the replaced
task by running it manually (right click the task, Run).

If there should be some kind of issue, it would be better to figure it
out now instead of later.
