Additional Information

There are two scenarios within this issue:

Launch miggui, authenticate to both servers, choose Add and select Novell iPrint, fill the Print Options tab, go to the other options tab and select "Migrate printer drivers if the driver is not present in the target drive store".

1.  If you leave the "ALL" option selected, the migration progress and log files won't show errors, but the Windows 10 drivers and profiles will not migrate.

2. If you select "Windows 8/8.1 64", you will see the following error in the migration.log file:

 
 INFO  - IPRINT:/opt/novell/bin/iprintmig:Information: Unknown platform 'Windows 8/8.1 64' specified as input, ignoring it.

and Windows 10 printer drivers  and profile are not migrated.
