Printer migration for upgrade

[Jeff Disney]

What is the best way to migrate printers from an hpux 11.00 system to an hpux 11i system, this is a system being upgraded so I don't have both systems running at once, I want to back up the config from the old box and restore it after a fresh ignite.

Jeff,

Search the Knowledge Base for doc ID# UPRTKBRC00014862

That should give you what you're looking for. You'll need to install the latest HPPI software on the 11i system.

Regards,
Eric

As long as they are jet direct ones, just back up the spooler from SAM or command line:

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

Then tar up /var/sam/lp/ and back it up to tape...

After upgrade, restore tarball;
lpshut
/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp/
lpsched -v
