We have a network with approx 2000 users & 80 servers – a large no of printers are distributed over these servers & subnets.
I want to copy the printers from one server, about 30, onto another server. I ‘ve tried to copy two registry files,
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\printprinters
&
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\printmonitors\lprports\ports
When i tried this all the ip/port details copied over but only 2 icons copied into the printers folder: none of the other icons appeared.
All the printers are HP laserjets, over 90% are internal jet direct, a few others are external jet direct and a few are on terminal servers.
There are no odd permissions set on the printers or anything obvious different between the two that copied & those that didn’t
Any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation
