Printer Ques migration

Waqar Razi — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:59:12 GMT

We want to migrate printer queues from one PA RISC based server (9000/800/L3000-6x) running HP-UX 11.0 to RX server (rx8620) running HP-UX 11.23. I need some guidance in this regard.

You could use SAM to save the printer configuration on one and then copy to the other then restore.
I'm not sure how compatible 11.00 and 11.23 are?

How can we test compatibility between two systems?

Hi Wagar:

> How can we test compatibility between two systems?

You could use SAM and *save* your current printer configuration; and import and test the "new" one. If this works, good; if not, restore the saved configuration and re-assess.

Most of them are network printers. We added them either using addqueue or jetadmin oon 11.0 server
