remote printer migration

[Pilar Serna_1]

Hi,

I would like to transfer remote printer queues from one unix machine running jetadmin to another one running jetdiret.
Unfortunately the transferqueue utility only works for Network printers installed for Unix. Has Anyone got an idea which is the best way to transfer network and remote printers from a server running jetadmin to a server running jetdirect.

Thanks a lot

You can try this:

/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -S -v -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp/ ; cp -r -p /var/sam/lp/lp.new/* /var/sam/lp/

tar up /var/sam/lp/ and ftp to other server,
untar it, then:

/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp/

Make sure you do a lpshut prior to restore...then lpsched -v afterwards...

Rgds...Geoff
