printing challenges

Deepak Seth_1 — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 01:49:06 GMT

we do lot of moving around from one server to other. I use the feature of save / restore option and move printers . Few questions

- how can i move only selective printers from one server to others (appending them to already existing printers).

- how to deal with different kind of printers specially - sharp multi functional printers , dell etc.

I also use jet admin utility to create printer.

Any help appreciated.

It looks like save and restore only deal with all printers.

This recent thread deals with lpadmin(1m) directly. Perhaps if you set it up once, you can use the same script on other machines.

Hi Deepak,

To move all the printers from one server to another server is here.

Probably you need to keep the selective printers and remove the unwanted printers from the savedir before you restore on destination server.

Hope this helps
