Hello

I would like to know how I can replicate all the drivers whose are on one of
my 100 servers, to all the others ?
I need to replicate only the drivers, and not the printers.

Any ideas?

You'll need to copy the content of the following folder to the same place on
the new server;

%windir%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86



And export the import the following registry key to the new machine (Make
sure you don't have any printer installed on the new server) ;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print



The following registry key contains your print queues and you can delete it
if you don't want the print queues.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers



Note: the best way to do so it using PrintMig tool and them delete the
following registry key;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers





PintMig 3.1

Thanks a lot.

A last question: you said :"Make sure you don't have any printer installed
on the new server"

If I have some drivers installed on the new server, how can I do ? Should I
delete all content of the folder "%windir%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86",
and delete the key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print" ?

Is this is like a desinstallation of driver ?

Thanks.
