Migrating printer configuration in HP-UX
hi we have an old hp9000 server which will be migrated to rx2660 using hp-ux 11iv2. would like to ask, how can i migrate the printer configuration from the old hp9000 server to the new rx2660? most of the printers are dot matrix.
thanks

Re: Migrating printer configuration in HP-UX
Through SAM you can add printer easily while choosing the printer select dumb printer from the list.

Re: Migrating printer configuration in HP-UX
Save the spooler info:
# /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -S -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp
Then copy the directory /var/sam/lp onto the new server using whaterever method (rcp -r/scp -r etc.)
Then on rx2660:
Restore the spooler :
# /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp

Please post lpstat -t
just do once the below commands
disable printername

then try to take a print.

Re: Migrating printer configuration in HP-UX
PRINTSERVER is not reachable from your new system. rlpstat cannot connect to this remote system.
Does it have an entry in the hosts file or is your new server already using DNS? Maybe PRINTSERVER is on another subnet and unreachable from your new machine?
