Utility to copy print queues from one print server to another
Posted by tnt on January 30th, 2007


Guys,

Any such utility? I remember using a MS Utility but don't recall the name.

We are looking to recreate the same printer queues for the second print
server for network redundancy.

Also, how do you guys go about in creating a network redundancy for print
services?

Thanks a lot.

When you create the printer port you could use DNS names instead of IP
address, then in DNS create the same A records for both printers, this
way when userA prints to printer1.domain.com he will be supplied with
the IP of printer A or printer B. If for some reason the printer is
broke down then remove the A record for the broke printer from DNS.

Smokey,

I am trying to create redundancy for the printer servers, not printers.
Let's say my printer1 server is down, I want to have printer2 server kicks in
automatically.
