Thanks to Will Enestvedt Carl Gobbo Aaron Facey Simone Cristina Sperandio They all made suggestions on coping /etc/lp/interfaces. I did not try this method. I went with the script provided by HP. Many Thanks. I was able to find a script that is bundled with V.10.34 Below are the directions that came with it: Transferqueue Instructions TRANSFER.UNX 26/04/2002 Purpose of "transferqueue" script: To transfer all JetAdmin created queues from one workstation to another into JetDirect Printer Installer while retaining the same set of configuration options that were configured through the JetAdmin Utility. It also converts Jetadmin created queues to JetDirect Printer Installer in the same system. NOTE: This script will ONLY transfer queues from HP-UX 10.x/11.x to HP-UX 10.x/11.x or Solaris 2.x to Solaris 2.x *** Do not transfer JetAdmin created queues from HP-UX to Solaris or from Solaris to HP-UX. These queues will not function properly and may become corrupted. 1. This script transfers queues from one workstation to another as noted above. The script will not update the queues with new fixes available in the latest Jetadmin modelscripts. 2. When transferring Jetadmin created queues to the destination workstation, the destination must have JetDirect Printer Installer version installed. 3. In case of a failure see /opt/hpnpl/tmp/transferqueue.log for more information. Transferring JetAdmin created queues to JetDirect Printer Installer in the same system ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Invoke transferqueue with "local" to convert local queues to JetDirect Printer Installer. 2. Select a queue or all to convert the queues to JetDirect Printer Installer. 3. Try printing from the converted queues Transferring JetAdmin created queues from HP-UX 10.x/11.x to HP-UX 10.x/11.x -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Login to the workstation (Source) as 'root' user from which the queues are to be transferred. 2. Change directories to /etc/lp/interface and remove old queues by executing "rm *.old" and remove the files which are not used as queues. 3. Invoke transferqueue with "backup" to tar all the queues created by JetAdmin/JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix. The tared file will be placed in /tmp/queues.tar. 4. Transfer the file '/tmp/queues.tar' to the '/tmp' directory of destination workstation (to which the queues are to be transferred) by executing the following commands. ftp <destination workstation name> enter 'root' as a user enter 'root' user password cd /tmp bin put /tmp/queues.tar bye 5. Login to the destination workstation as root user. 6. Install JetDirect Printer Installer (E.10.18 or later) if it is not already installed. 7. Make sure that queue names on the source workstation do not conflict with the queuenames on the destination workstation. If same queuenames exist on both workstations, then the one on the destination workstation will be overwritten by the source workstation's queue. 8. If you are using a host table - check to see if the proper /etc/host entries exists on the destination workstation for the queues you are transfering. 9. If you are using bootp - make sure the /etc/bootptab entries are available on the destination workstation. 10. Execute the script '/opt/hpnpl/bin/transferqueue'. This will create and install the queues on destination workstation with the same name as in the source workstation with same set of options. 11. Set the default queue (if it is necessary) by executing 'lpadmin -d<queue_name>. Transferring JetAdmin created queues from Solaris 2.x to Solaris 2.x ------------------------------------------------------------ 1.

We are doing this in a Solaris 8, rev 10/02, environment via the HP JetDirect Print Installer. I would to know what files besides /etc/printers.conf is modified and does the JetDirect software keep an internal listing of all printers. I would like to be able to just configure one machine and copy the conf files over to the others.
