transferqueue command/script failing.

[Ashish Palkhiwala]

I am working with HP-UX11.0 trying to copy print queues from one server to another. I am working with Jetadmin D.06.21. I have read and followed transferqueue document ( Doc Id CPObpj05377 ) step by step. I am getting following error.

Creating Queues... Please wait
10G07B01
/tmp/transferqueue.a09529
Failed to configure the spooler queue . Aborting the operation!
Re-starting lpsched

I added an "echo" to the script to view the queue name, and the model from the tar file. The $MODEL variable printed
/tmp/transferqueue.a09529. I suspect this caused the script to fail, did anyone have the same problem when they ran the script?

If so what is the solution for this?

Thanks
Ashish

Change privileges to temporary model file:
Change chmod 660 $MODEL by
chmod 777 $MODEL

Edit the change in file /opt/hpnp/bin/transferqueue

I have been able to use SAM to backup the Spooler Configuration. Then move the backup file to the server I want to create the printers on, and then use the restore option.

1. In sam under printers and plotters use the
list -> Save/Restore option.
2. Then go to options and select save config.
It will save a file in /var/sam/lp/lpinfo.
3. Move or copy the file to the new server in
the same directory /var/sam/lp/lpinfo.
4. Go into SAM on the new server and go to printers and plotters list -> Save/Restore option.
5. Go to options and select restore config.

The new system should have all the printers the old system had.
