• When you move the Print Manager or Printer Agents to an OES Linux server, the printer
objects are copied to the same eDirectory container as the Print Manager, even if the printer
objects are distributed throughout the tree. This helps the Print Manager run more efficiently
and avoids unnecessary calls to eDirectory for printer information.
• If you made changes to the
iprint.ini
file (located in
sys:\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\
), you should copy the file to
/var/opt/novell/
iprint/htdocs/
on the destination server.
• iPrint maps and custom images are not migrated. If you are hosting these on your iPrint server,
you need to copy them to the destination server.
8.4.1 Requirements
During the migration, printer drivers are copied from the Resource Management Service (RMS) to
the iPrint Driver Store (IDS).
‰ The Resource Management Service used by the Print Manager on a NetWare server must be up
and running
‰ The iPrint Driver Store on an OES Linux server must be up and running
‰ You must use an eDirectory user with sufficient rights to access the source and destination print
system and eDirectory access permissions
‰ DNS must be properly configured for the existing print system
8.4.2 Using the Utility to Migrate iPrint Print Managers and
Printer Agents
To migrate your iPrint print system, complete the following tasks using the Server Consolidation
Utility, which is launched from the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit.
1. If you have not already done so, deploy the iPrint Client on the workstation.
The Server Consolidation Utility checks for the correct iPrint Client version and warns you if
you need to install a newer version.
For more information, see “ Windows: Distributing the iPrint Client ” in the OES iPrint
Administration Guide for NetWare .
2. Start the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit and select the following options:
• NetWare or Open Enterprise Server (eDirectory)
• Consolidate and Copy Data and Printing between Servers
3. When the Server Consolidation Utility launches, set up your project and select the desired
NetWare source server and OES Linux destination server.
4. In the Project Window, do one of the following to model your iPrint migration.
IMPORTANT: Make sure both Print Managers are running on the source and destination
servers before you attempt to drag-and-drop a PSM or its associated Printer Agents. If you
don’t do this, you will get unpredictable results.
• Drag-and-drop a Print Manager from the NetWare source tree onto a container in the
Linux destination tree.
