[Samba] Migrating from NT4 print server to Samba print server

[Kirk B. Dice]

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me with migrating printers from a WinNT4 print server to a Samba server. I have searched the web for days and haven't found a solution. I am running Slackware 10.1; kernel 2.4.29. I upgraded Samba to 3.0.21c recently and I am using LPR v3.8.28 as my print spooler.

Here is the response from the 'rpc migrate printers' command:

root at roadrunner:/etc>net rpc printer MIGRATE PRINTERS "HPDeskJet600" \
-S Larry -U administrator
Password: xxxxxxx
migrating printer queue for: [\\LARRY\HP DeskJet 600] / [HPDeskJet600]
cannot open printer \\127.0.0.1\HPDeskJet600 on server \\127.0.0.1: WERR_INVALIE
cannot get printer-info: DOS code 0x0000001a
could not get printer, creating printer.
creating printer: \\LARRY\HP DeskJet 600
could not create printer [\\LARRY\HP DeskJet 600]
root at roadrunner:/etc>
Thanks
