Migrating Printers and Queues Between Servers
* '''List all printers''' - All printers are listed in Active Directory
* '''Don't list any printers''' - No printers are listed in Active Directory
Once the required settings are configured, click ''Next'' to initiate the printer import process. The printer configurations, drivers and queues will be subsequently be imported onto the target print server. If errors are reported click on the ''Open Event Viewer'' button to obtain additional information. In particular, be mindful of printers that were physically connected to the source print server. Since they are not physically connected to the target server an error will likely occur during the migration. Even if the printer was physically moved to the target system prior to migration it is also possible that it is connected to a different physical port to that used on the source server. Such probelsm can be resolved by right clicking on the imported printer in Print Management, selecting ''Properties'' and making the necessary configuration changes.
