Printer Migration

by duncanratcliffe . Updated 22 years, 7 months ago

I will be migrating around 130 networked printers between W2K servers in the near future and dont want to do this manually. We have a mixture of NT4 and XP clients. I intend to use MS PrintMig (v3.1) to backup the configuration and restore to the target. I have run the resource kit tool fixprnsv.exe on the source machine and this reports that there are no drivers that are unsupported on W2K. I have then backed up the printer configuration and restored to a test server. During the restore warnings have showed up stating ‘bad version 2 driver’ mainly against Lexmark drivers, and also messages appear in the log stating that certain files are missing from the cab file. Has anyone used these tools before or had similar experiences with them ? Any comments much appreciated.
