Copy Jet direct printers to another system

[Aaron_4]

I need to copy all my jetadmin created printers from my old K box to a N Class. I see the save/restore in sam but the jetadmin printers are not in there. thanks

There is a command "transferqueue" in HP to transfer the queues to other Server. Do man transferqueue. It will give you details abt what to do.

Hi Aaron


To Migrate printers all you have to do is

1. SAM--->Printers and Plotters --> LP Spooler ---->Sve/Restore Configuration.-->save configeration.

2. the configeration is restored in /var/adm/lp .

3.Compress the files under it and ftp it to the new server.

4. Restore Lp config .

You are good to go.

Thanks guys! I was doing well until I typed rm /var/spool/lp/request /*/*

Yup, that's a space between request and / Gonna be a long night

Oh man Aaron..that's painful!
Next to the last step.....
I feel for you buddy.

Hope you got a good recovery tape & full/incremental fbackup tapes.

This is a good reason why some admins alias the rm command to rm -i.
Gives you notice before all hell breaks loose.

Rgds & Good Luck,
Jeff
