Hello all. I'm looking for a script or some direction in moving hp
jetdirect networked printers from an old 5.0.6 machine to a new 5.0.7
machine. Any Ideas is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just go ahead and copy /usr/spool/lp/*/lp/ from one machine to the other.

That works fine if the printers use static IP's and are *NOT*
configured with LPR/LPD.

If bootp is used to assign IP's, you'll also need:
/etc/bootptab
You should only have one bootp server online at a time, so comment out
the sections in the old /etc/bootptab if both machines are going to be
online at the same time.

If LPR/LPD is used, you'll also need:
/usr/spool/lpd/*
/etc/printcap
