Copying all queues from UG005 host to UG002 host

[Valdemir]

Hi:
I need transfer all 170 printer queues from UG005 host to UG002 host.
If I use transferqueue tool will I able to use all queues created in host UG005 like if
was created in host UG002 ?

Thank you.

I think it is possible. Only limitation will be if you have queues with same names.
See KB doc LPKBRC00009243 - http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&docId=emr_na-c01019982-1

"Make sure that the queue names on the source workstation do not conflict with the queue names on the destination workstation. If the same queue name exists on both workstations, then the queue on the destination workstation will be overwritten by the source workstation's queue.
"

Here's how I do this...

on local host:

/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -S -v -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp/
cp -r -p /var/sam/lp/lp.new/* /var/sam/lp/

tar up /var/sam/lp and copy to remote host

On remote host, stop the spooler (lpshut)

un tar the tarball from above

/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp/

lpsched -v

I forgot to tell that my hosts are solaris, and I didn´t find a lpmgr command...

[Geoff Wild]

LOL - so why didn't you post on the Solaris boards?

Sorry - I have Solaris - but don't run printing on them...

Too funny :)

why the below step?

cp -r -p /var/sam/lp/lp.new/* /var/sam/lp/

[Geoff Wild]

why the below step?

cp -r -p /var/sam/lp/lp.new/* /var/sam/lp/

because when you back the spooler up - it saves it to lp.new...

And you need it in /var/sam/lp in order to do a restore...
