Print Server Migration Utility


Windows NT Server Resource Kit Supplement 3 or later includes printmig.exe utility that will give you the capability to
backup and restore printer and print queue definitions from one NT 4.0 server to
another. The print migration utility backs up all print queues, printer ports,
print drivers, and printer shares in cabinet file format to the file:

<%Systemroot%>\System32\Spool\Pm\pm.cab

Printmig saves the current print server status to a file named pm.log in the
same directory.

Printer Migrator backs up the following ports: HP network ports, Lexmark
MarkVision port monitor (IP/Data Link Control–DLC), HP Jet Admin, Line Print
Remote (LPR) ports, local ports, Digital network ports, and the Macintosh
AppleTalk port monitor.
