Copying printer setups

[Park2]

We have installed 10 new printers.
Each set up to collect from a certain tray and output to a certain
output tray.

eg print job 1. goto HP8000 collect from input 2 output to output tray side.

Is there a way to export / copy all these drivers & settings to other
machines?

Would save a lot of configuring if poss.

Windows XP pro machines.

Cheers

There is a tool included with Windows, which can do just that:

"rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?"

If you need more help just google for: rundll32 printui.dll

Most of the printers are on a network card and worked fine.

One minor niggle is if a printer is connected to LPT on John and shared as
\\John\Permits when restoring on John's machine you have to manually change
the port to LTP1. Otherwise the print job seems to stay looped in the print
window.

sounds like LPT1 is getting remapped or had been mapped to \\server\share

make sure that it was not already mapped by using the net use command.


E:\>net use
New connections will not be remembered.


Status Local Remote Network

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK LPT1 \\server\printshare Microsoft Windows
Network



clear the mapping with net use.
net use lpt1: /d
