Transferring print queues via sam/transferqueue

Adam Noble — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 09:08:29 GMT

Hi all,

I've just transferred my print queues via the transferqueue script. This worked fine however all the printers are showing up as network and there were a number of remote queues on the original host. Can I get round this?

cheers

transferqueue is for JetDirect/JetAdmin printers, which implys networked, not remote.

you might have to delete the remote printers and use addqueue to put them back. also, somewhere on here is a thread on transfering printers by copying directories (via tar IIRC). Can't seem to find it at the moment however.
