The main thing that I found when migrating printers is to make sure that your add printer script can handles spaces in names. There's also a little bit of a data model problem in that Windows creates subkeys in the registry based on printer name and Samba uses the share name. The best solution is a little prep work that renames the printer names to the share name and then you can reset the printer name after migration. Drivers and printer settings migrate without any difficulty. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "There's an anonymous coward in all of us." --anonymous -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDxnjKIR7qMdg1EfYRAszaAJ46DZ8vIOANwUloyyf3BVW0dWbasgCg2qBs 2J0DDnidJLrG9x3EgJVVj6I= =nUNb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
