Note that this would overwrite any existing printer definitions on the
target box...



#!/bin/ksh

# Makes archive of necessary files and directories to copy printers to
new box

# Version History:

# Version 1.0 (09/17/2002) - Initial Version

TARFILE="/tmp/migrateprinters.tar"

PROGNAME=$(basename $0)

case $1 in

'source')

# Add files

echo "Generating archive ($TARFILE)... \c"

tar cf $TARFILE /etc/qconfig /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/ddi /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/dev

echo "Done.\n\nThe file '$TARFILE' must now be transferred to

the target \nsystem's /tmp directory. Then extract the files by

executing \n'$PROGNAME target' on the target system."

;;

'target')

# Extract files

tar xf $TARFILE

# Refresh smit panels

cp /usr/lpp/printers.rte/inst_root/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit/*
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit

# Redigest queues

cd /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom

Subject: copying printer definitions from one server to another

Does anyone have a tried and true method of copying printer definitions,
in total, from one AIX server to another?

Or any other suggestions on how to get 200 printers copied?

thanks
