transferring printers to another system

[Maurice Peterse]

I have a 10.10 system running lpsched with 500 printers. Also on this system DNS is running.

I want the transfer the complet printing to another system that runs 10.20.


What's the easiest way to do this?

Hi

here is the answer for your que. you need to tranfer the printers with sam.

it doesnt matter that you are using DNS because the ip of the printer doesnt change .

see rainer answer .

thanx sofar

but the command
/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R savedir=/var/sam/lp

returns:
Too many arguments, "savedir=/var/sam/lp" is extraneous.

Hi,

It's :

lpmgr -R -xsavedir=...

instead of : lpmgr -R savedir=.....

It's the same syntaxe than for saving.
