Environment
Situation
This document describes a feature introduced in the Nov 2009 iPrint migration code which benefits iPrint migrations failures of one of these scenarios:
Scenario 1:
The iPrint Migration successfully copied the printer drivers, but did not create the printer agents or create the transformed XML file of /opt/novell/iprint/bin/psmimport.xml.
Scenario 2:
The iPrint Migration successfully copied the printer drivers and created the transformed XML file of /opt/novell/iprint/bin/psmimport.xml, but the printer agents were not created and the transformed XML does not contain the desired information for the new print manager to receive.
Scenario 3:
The iPrint Migration failed to copy printer drivers, create printer agents, and create the transformed XML file of /opt/novell/iprint/bin/psmimport.xml. However, the printer drivers can be migrated using a cool solution script found at: https://www.novell.com/communities/node/6167/iprint-driver-copy-script-migrating-iprint-netware-drivers-oes-linux

- Run the iPrint Migration from the target server.
- The iPrint Migration will detect the xml file in the share directory and not communicate with the source Print Manager server.
