Howdy All,
On my network, I have about 35-40 printers and I'm putting them all on one new server as I prepare to get rid of the old one. I have all the IP addresses, driver required, etc in Excel. How can I script the creation of all of these guys (1) make it all uniform (2) when I get another new server that I want to be a backup print server I can easily match the configuration.
The next reason I'm asking this is I name all of my printer ports with something OTHER than IP_XXX.xxx.xxx.xxx, I make the name of the port something like: IP_sXX_POS, IP_sXX_REPAIR, etc (where sXX is our store number). Since I have an IP mess on my hands that I'm slowly cleaning up I'm changing printer IPs and don't want the name to be the IP address. When I create the port and printer through the GUI I'm getting two ports, one is named how I want it named, the other is IP_XXX.xxx.xxx.xxx and I have to go switch the port and delete the extra one which is a pain AND I'd really like to add this to my CLI knowledge.
Any links fellas?
