Printers

System Script

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

Release Date

07/30/2007

Settings Description

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, set the default printer on the destination manually.

Limitations

If your printer ports are mapped network paths, remap the network paths on the destination system.
After migration, the scheduling settings can change, and will need to be reset.
For the 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, require their drivers that are installed on the destination before the migration.
To migrate printers, the user must have at least power user access.
