Moving Print Queues from Over NT4 server to another,NT WS no prob. 2parts to this question:
1)
There are critical print jobs from Unix which
which goto these printers.

Many of the Print jobs come from remote loctions ie I don't have acces to them.
(I also have minimal Unix Experince)

If this can be done how? (are the unix printers connecting to the ip)is succesfully done , I am moving the proxy that the Unix servers connect thru next later week ,will this also affect their ability to print?

As long as your print queues and IP addresses are the same, you should not have a problem. You also have to make sure that you're running them on an LPR port (my experience with UNIX IP printing). If your new proxy is setup identical to the old, there shouldn't be a problem. You may have to find what port the printers print on.

The unix printers do connect to the IP. DHCP won't work. To change the IP address, the UNIX server would also have to be changed.

Hope this helps.
