Migrating Print Queues to Another System
1. copy the /etc/qconfig (make a copy of the original before)
2. Copy the following files:
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/custom/*
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/dev/*
/var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/ddi/*
3. change the permissions on the copied files to 664
chmod 664 filename
4. redigest the queue's
enq -d
5. run the chvirprt command on each queue
chvirprt -q <queue name> -d <device name>
Note: If you have a lot of queues, the best thing is to create a short
script to do this for you. I grab the queue name and device name by running
lsallq -c and saving it to a file.
6. cycle the printer subsystem
stopsrc -cg spooler
startsrc -g spooler

Subject: Copying printer queues
I have something like 700 printer queues to move from
one system to another. I know that other than
/etc/qconfig, there's a whole directory structure
under /var that I can tar up and move (but I can't
remember it).
What is that directory structure? Or am I off my
rocker?
