Posted by piyut on Tuesday, August 21, 2007
In the Source System
1. Save printer spooler configurations
# /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -S
–> this will save the info in the /var/sam/lp/lpinfo file
via SAM
SAM -> printer and plotters -> lp spooler -> save/restore spooler configuration.Then, Actions -> Save spooler configuration.
This will write all your printer defs to /var/sam/lp
2. Copy the configurations from source to target system
# scp -rp /var/sam/lp target_system:/var/sam/lp/./
In the Target System
1. Restore printer spooler configurations
# chmod 755 /var/sam/lp
# /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R
–> this will restore the info in /var/sam/lp/* on the new system
via SAM
SAM -> printer and plotters -> lp spooler -> save/restore spooler configuration. Then, Actions -> Restore spooler configuration
