Migrating mass printers from one iPrintManager to Another
Note: Before you attempt to migrate printers, the printer has to have a printer driver at the source server
You can verify by using URL : //hostname or IP/PsmStatus/PAStatus/printer_name
Or terminal/ssh
#cd /var/opt/novell/iprint/resdir/driver_windows-nt-6.2_x86-64_en To list the drivers #ll
Step 1: At the source server copy all drivers to the destination server.
Step 2: On the destination server
# rcnovell-idsd restart
Step 3: get the printer configuration "padbtxt.xml:" at the source and destination server to your workstation PC, you can use WinSCP or vi
Location of padbtxt.xml: “vastorage/iprint/var/opt/novell/iprint/print_manager.iPrintAppliance.psm”
Note: remember to rename so you cannot mix.
Note: if you are not familiar with .xml after modification you can open destination padbtxt_x in the browser and see if there is any error that comes in.
Step 4: Go to Psmstatus URL "“//hostname or IP/PsmStatus/ ” and hit refresh you will see a new migrated printer
