Managing Print services

[ashjanet]

I'm trying to clean up some directories.<br>
<br>
I can't figure out how the files in the queues directory correspond to my Print Queues. Can the .qdr files in the Queues directory be matched up with their corresponding queues ?<br>
<br>
I would also like to move the Print Server and Queue directory to from SYS:\System to DATA:\system on another server with out rebuilding the printers on every PC.<br>
<br>
Also have a " !" for all the print layouts next to the Print server entry. All the printers work. Why the !<br>
<br>
Running Netware 4.11 <br>
Have HP Jet Direct software running but<br>
use NWADMIN to manage.

Well - I found it myself so I thought I'd share<br>
<br>
In a dos window from a WIN 95 PC<br>
nlist queue show "queue directory"<br>
<br>
this lists the print queues Novell names and their corresponding .qdr directories. I found two that were no longer being used.<br>
<br>
If your printers on your PC were added pointing to the printer and not the queue...then you can create a new queue on the right volume, point the printer at the new queue in NWADMIN. I found the first time I printed to it I had to remove the check in the printer box from work offline.<br>
Then delete the old queue.<br>
<br>
Can't find the reason for the "!" on the Print Servers in NWADMIN print layout. But JetAdmin has to have a print server to locate the printers on the network.<br>
