Print Server Migration printmig.exe issues
Hello there,
It's my first post there, hope I am not off subject... .)
I am trying to migrate a win2003 print server to a brand new win2003 server R2 X64 (emt64) server.
I ran printmig on old servers, no warnings.
Restore is also done with no warnings...but I have only 3 printers back. I have reinstalled print monitors ( HP Standard Tcpip port) prior to restor process.
Nevertheless I have noticed I have eight print processors running on old server and 0 running on new one.
Questions:
-Does Jump from win2003 server to win2003R2 X64 (intel Xeon) can create trouble?.
-Do you have to install manually print processors ?. How ? from driver manufacturer (then printmig is not so great).
-Do I need to have HP jetadmin installed. ?
Thanks in advance for your support.

Hello,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
Because we can not use 32 bit print drivers on a 64 bit OS, this process
will fail. We will have to reinstall the printers using 64 bit drivers and
add additional drivers for 32 bit. This is by design.
Thanks & Regards,

Re: Print Server Migration printmig.exe issues
Hello,
You are right. We need to add the 32-bit print driver remotely on to the
64-bit print server, follow these steps:
1.On any one of the clients machine running 32-bit OS.
2.Access the print server \\PrintserverName\Printers.
3.Open the printer required to add the 32-bit driver.
4.Go to properties.
5.Sharing Tab.
6.Additional drivers.
7.check the box for x86 for windows 2000,windows xp and windows 2003.
8.click ok ok.
Hope this helps.
