I recently used this to move over 50 printers between two systems.
It worked slick...

Subject: AIX Printer config setup to 2nd server. AIX 4.3 & AIX 5L
Hi guys.
I currently have a system running AIX 4.3.3. And have about 25-30 printers
setup on it.
We are migrating to a new AIX 5L box. Is there any way to export the
printer configs and install
them to the new box?
thanks,
Keith
