Hi.

I have an existing server with all its print queue information. Now, i
have a new server. Besides manually creating these print queues in the
new server, i was thinking abt copying the config file over. will this
work?

However, i cant find this config file. For ibm aix, its qconfig. But i
cant quite get it for hpux.

Please advise

If you are using the standard HPUX spoller, this will do the trick.

To copy the printers from server A to server B :

On server A :
Save the spooler on the server :
# /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -S -xsavedir=/tmp/spooler_save

Then copy the directory /tmp/spooler_save on the new server
# tar cf - /tmp/spooler_save | rexec <serverB> "tar xvf -"

On server B :
Restore the spooler :
# /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R -xsavedir=/tmp/spooler_save
