copy printers

[Johan deheugden]

guys, i got a server with 10 printers installed.4 of these printers need to
be installed on different servers with the same settings. is there something
like a tool to copy these 4 printers? i tried using the print migration
tool,but that tool copies all the printers and that aint good -)

thanks in advance.

Hi Johan,

As you ahve found, printmig does copy all of them, but that wouldn't stop
you from setting up one computer as you need it, taking the snapshot, and
restoring to the other workstations.

Other than that you are stuck unless they are domain printers. In that case
you could script them woith con2prt.

Con2prt:

Hope this helps.
