Replace server–clean start
Get queue and port information from the old server.
The Microsoft tools prnmngr.vbs and prnport.vbs simplify the task of gathering information such as queue names,
driver names, port names, and IP addresses from the old server. This information can be used later to create the new
queues manually, or to automate the process by scripting. See Automate the process through scripting in this chapter
for more information about automation and scripting.
Replace server, import drivers and queues from the old server
Run PrintMig.exe or PrintBrm.exe on old server.
Restore Print-Migrator image on new server.
If the test server requires the same configuration as the old server, the Microsoft tools PrintMig.exe or PrintBrm.exe
can be used to import the configuration from the old server to the test server.
NOTE: Not all drivers are compatible with PintMig.exe, so the error log must be inspected after the restore. The
PrintBrm.exe tool is only available on later version Microsoft operating systems such as Windows 7 and Server 2008.
PrintBrm.exe can import from a down level OS, but it might not be able to restore to a down level OS.
Verify existing driver compatibility with the latest UNIDRV and PSCRIPT versions.
HP does not recommend updating drivers on an operating production server. Besides the obvious interruption of
printing while the drivers are being replaced, there are other unforeseen problems that can occur due to
incompatibilities between versions of shared files currently on the system and the versions of the shared files about to
be installed. See Versioning of print driver shared files in this appendix. If this is the only option, then HP recommends
that a full backup of the server be made before any changes are done, so that in the event of a problem there is a
fallback plan.
