Printers

System Script

The Printers script manages Microsoft Windows installed printers and their settings.

Release Date

07/30/2007

Settings Description

The Printers script migrates the following:

The Local Printers option displays and migrates all the local printers available on the computer.
The Network Printers option displays and migrates all the network printers for the selected user.

When selecting system settings for migration, Printers is available for selection under the Desktop Settings branch of the System Settings tree.

Notes

After printer settings are migrated, default printer set on the source may not reflect as default printer on the destination. In such case, you have to manually set the default printer on the destination.

Limitations

Following are the limitations:

If your printer ports are mapped network paths, you must remap the network paths on the destination system.
After migration, the scheduling settings may change, and will need to be reset.
For LPR printers to operate correctly on the destination system, you may need to install appropriate network DLC protocol.
Printers whose drivers do not come bundled with Windows, will need their drivers installed on the destination before the migration.
To migrate printers, the user must have at least power user access.
