Printers: I dont use them enough on AIX. However, following John's lead on this. The key files are still /etc/qconfig and /var/spool/lpd (and all the subdirectories, etc).

I do not know for sure if there is any information in the ODM - other than the physical printer devices themselves that cfgmgr can recognize.

There was a long chapter on this in the "IX41" advanced admin course, "virtual printers" and all the associated directories for those files.  Michael will have access to the latest materials, it must be 10 years since I wrote parts of that, it's under /var somewhere Grin - you could look for the ridiculously long filenames I recall with @ signs and all sorts in.

However, at it's simplest it might be enough to copy /etc/qconfig for your queue and queue device definition stanzas, after maybe adding some type-example printers.

You'll also need to install whatever driver software these printers use - normal installp.

I have bulit up a new AIX 5.3 machine, now i want to move all the Printer configuration & printer from old machine to new AIX boxes, there is approx 2000 printer and it's very difficult to setup this printer as manuly.

Can any one help me to know what and all files and directory should overwritten  to the new AIX boxes from old one so we can have the exact setup of printer to new server machine.
