Re: users & printers
- If you have ignite installed, you can do a make_recovery on your first system and then do an interactive restore onto your second system. This would allow you to duplicate your first box onto your second.
- Copy /etc/passwd and /etc/group from box 1 to box 2 to copy user/groups. You'll have to modify home directory paths unless their NFS mountable.
- Why not use NIS to distribute account information between your machines? That'll allow you to just maintain one set of usernames and password etc centrally and will allow logins to whatever machines you specify if they're NIS clients
Just my 2 cents...

Re: users & printers
Users
Copy /etc/passwd /etc/groups and then create thr home directories and copy the .profiles for all the users .
Printers
You can copy /usr/spool/lp directory across , but also you will have to copy /etc/hosts incase you have network printers , generally this works but if I was you I would have recreted new printers since they are easy to create and it is easier to debug problems with new printers then to debug the old copied ones. Also you have always the flexibilty to go back in case the copy doesnt work .

Re: users & printers
To replicate users, groups, services, etc. automatically, you can use NIS or NIS+ (more secure): http://www.docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90045/B1031-90045_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90045/00/00/20-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90045/00/00/20-toc.html&searchterms=NIS&queryid=20010521-075815
or you can make it manually by copying /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
For Printers (I've never done this) I think you just need to copy /etc/lp.
good luck.

SolutionI have successfully migrated users and printers from 10.20 to 11.00 .
For users :-
Copy over the "/etc/passwd" , "/etc/group" and also "/etc/logingroup" ( if you use /etc/logingroup ).Don't forget to copy the users home directories. If your 10.20 server is trusted , trust your 11.00 server before you copy over the above files along with "/tcb" directory structure . On 11.00 , use "pwck" and check for any errors/warning.
For printers :-
copy over the "/etc/lp" ,"/var/spool/lp" and you are all set to go.
