i've been asked to move the printer configuration from one system to another.
i've duly consulted the itrc and have found threads like this:
http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1264087200322+28353475&threadId=1248284
i think i've been thru every iteration of how to do this. regardless of the method, i am consistently getting error messages like this on the destination machine (for each printer):
chmod: can't access /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/*
cp: cannot create /var/spool/Xerox/xpxx/printer.foo.com/.49xxprinter: No such file or directory
/var/spool/Xerox/xpxx/printer.foo.com/.49xxprinter: No such file or directory
(just be clear i *am* root!)
to add a bit more to the story....the source system is 11.11, the destination box is 11.23. is that the real problem? if so, is there a way to do this?
thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: move printer configuration (one more time!)
It would help if you showed which method you used. Using SAM directly and tar? Or lpmgr?
>the source system is 11.11, the destination box is 11.23.
I thought the problem was going to 11.31?

Re: move printer configuration (one more time!)
i did a variation on the above four-step that involved using cpio.
finally i did the sam....ftp...sam waltz.
doesn't matter -- in every case i got the same errors.

Re: move printer configuration (one more time!)
I had no problems going from 11.11 to 11.23.
But I only have remote printers, no network ones, like it seems you have.
What type of printers and how many do you have?

Re: move printer configuration (one more time!)
To copy the Jet Direct printer queues from one server to another.
Remove any ├в old├в unused queues from /etc/lp/interface.
Change directory to /etc/lp/interface and tar up the queues, the tarfile name must be ├в queues.tar├в
cd /etc/lp/interface
tar /tmp/queues.tar *
Copy the tar file to the other server.
scp /tmp/queues.tar srvrX:/tmp/
On srvrX run ├в transferqueue├в . This server must have Jet Direct installed on it.
/opt/hpnpl/bin/transferqueue
Try it... you like it!
Beers,
robert

To copy the Jet Direct printer queues from one server to another.
Remove any "old" unused queues from /etc/lp/interface.
Change directory to /etc/lp/interface and tar up the queues, the tarfile name must be "queues.tar"
cd /etc/lp/interface
tar /tmp/queues.tar *
Copy the tar file to the other server.
scp /tmp/queues.tar srvrX:/tmp/
On srvrX run "transferqueue". This server must have Jet Direct installed on it.
