Transferring print queues via sam/transferqueue

[Adam Noble]

Hi all,

I've just transferred my print queues via the transferqueue script. This worked fine however all the printers are showing up as network and there were a number of remote queues on the original host. Can I get round this?

cheers

transferqueue is for JetDirect/JetAdmin printers, which implys networked, not remote.

you might have to delete the remote printers and use addqueue to put them back. also, somewhere on here is a thread on transfering printers by copying directories (via tar IIRC). Can't seem to find it at the moment however.

"The transferqueue does NOT handle remote printers...it is only for jet direct attached..."
