Does anyone know how to migrate printers from Novell Netware to Windows NT/2000? I know how to migrate them between NT servers using the utility printmig.

I hope someone else has a better answer, but I'm not aware of a migration process for Novell printers and I've always had to set up the printers manually during or after the migration.

Users and data, yes. But not printers.

I had a few people tell me there are 3rd party utilities out there, but they are expensive. I don't know if Fastlane or Netiq are the ones mentioned or not.I am looking for something like that. I all ready had a friend tell me that most of his Novell clients were small enough so that he was able to recreate them. Thanks any ways.

Hi mitch,

i mean their's no way(i do not Know) for migrating Printers from Novell, you had to install them again on the NT/w2k side.

Somebody has to do it....not sure if the MS migration tool (bindery only) will do it. Don't have a Novell or NT server to play with currently. ;-)
Will wait another day or two.
thanks anyways.
