I have a server with several printers set up on it, and I'd like to clone
them to transfer them to a new server to be taken a different location.
The second server won't be a clone of the first one, so here is my question:
Anybody knows if cloning printers is possible on unix? and if so, what files
I have to back up to clone the printers from one server to another?
Thanks a lot for help/suggestions in advance
How you do this depends on the flavor of UNIX/Linux/BSD you are running
and how elaborately the printer devices are configured. For example,
if they are using 3rd party drivers from HP (or some other vendor) you
have to install those drivers in the same place on the new server.
Again, the details depend on the system type and/or vendor. I suggest
you ask in comp.unix.admin which is a group about administration of
*NIX systems. Or better yet in a group that is specific to
*administering* the flavor of systems you are talking about.

Re: !!HELP!! Pulling my hair on this one. Printer problems. Really need some help on this. ... If the server tried to contact a printer and could not, say because of a sporadic hardware issue, it might report the printeras offline. ... I think that what I would do next would be to delete all the printers, then go into Server Properties and delete all the drivers. ... So I think for now if I can resolve the issue as to why I cannot remove and delete the print queues from my SBS server then I can try to reinstall from scratch without the existing print queues still in place. ... By centralizing the spooler you can control access, do "grouped" deployments, such as department/building/remote printer locations using group policy, upgrade a driver on the server and have all workstations get the new driver automatically, and...ultimately...usually a better troubleshooting experience when problems arise because you know the driver, the port, and don't have several workstations with different configurations floating out there. ...
