The iPrint Driver Migration script takes drivers from any NetWare driver repository and converts and uploads them to a Linux driver store automatically.

The Create Printers From CSV script is powerful tool to allow you to specify your printers easily in an excel spreadsheet and then create them without the use of iManager.

Updated: The iPrint Configuration Duplication Script creates a copy of the iPrint configuration from one OES Linux server and applies it to another. The configuration includes the printer agents and printer drivers. The script is useful to create a backup iPrint server or migrate an iPrint configuration to another server.

The iPrint Notification Script will allow you to identify when both the Driver Store and Print Manager go down on a server. It will notify you either by text message or email. The script will also attempt to restart the print services to get it operational.

During the iPrint migration, all of the drivers are migrated, the existing printers are renamed adding _NW to the end of the names, and the new iPrint Printers are created. The users assigned to the old printers are assigned to the new printers as well, but there is a caveat. That only allows the users to install the printers from the web page at http://serveraddress/ipp. It does not force install the printers for the users. Here is how you can work around this.

Let's face the fact, assigning iPrint printers in iManager, especially if the users are in a different container than the iPrint Printer, can become very tedious and time consuming. First you have to wait for the browse window to choose a printer, then wait for the browse window to browse for the users or groups, and finally select all of your users. Well what if you had 5 executives that needed to have access to every Xerox Printer in the organization and these printers existed in multiple containers? Let's say there were 35 of these printers. This could take hours. I'll demonstrate how to do it in less than 5 minutes.
