EXPORT IMPORT PRINTERS CONFIGURATION ON SOLARIS USING SCRIPT

I already register multiple printer in my server and want to copy printer configuration from one server to another server which both based on Solaris 10.

I realize that there are many ways to do this but I choose using this script because I think it’s simple
If you want to use this, maybe you need some modification using these scripts because of different rule of printer naming configuration that you want to set  but hopefully it will help you a little

There 2 scripts that I used :   exprint.sh and imprint.sh

Copy scripts_print folder from source server to destination server

Please put imprint.sh on scripts_print folder on destination server

Don’t forget to set these two file permission as executable file (chmod 755)

On Source Server
Execute exprint.sh as root

Script  expprint.sh :
# Use Bash (Bourne again shell) for running this script
mkdir scripts_print
ls /etc/lp/printers > ./scripts_print/printer
for i in `ls /etc/lp/printers`
do
lpstat -p $i -l | grep Options | cut -f2 -d= | cut -f1 -d, | cut -f1 -d ":" >> ./scripts_print/ip_address
lpstat -p $i -l | grep Options | cut -f2 -d= | cut -f1 -d, | cut -f2 -d ":" >> ./scripts_print/port
echo " Printer Description" >> ./scripts_print/desc
done
nawk '{ gsub(/_/,""); print }' printer | nawk '{$0=tolower($0);print}' > /tmp/test
awk '{ for ( i = 1 ; i < 2 ; i++ ) {a=i;b="mch_"; print b $a } }' /tmp/test > ./scripts_print/dev

On Destination Server  
Execute imprint.sh as root

Script  imprint.sh:
# Use Bash (Bourne again shell) for running this script
