hi confuseis,

the cmd ok me:

to backup type

printbrm.exe –b –s \\sourceservername –f \\uncpath\name.printerexport

to restore

printbrm.exe -r -s \\destinationservername –f \\uncpatch\name.printerexport

please provide both source , destination servers system version, , check application column in event viewer find if there error or failure during migration.

in addition, migrate printer, please refer article:

migrating print queues using printbrm, configuration files, , generic/text driver

if there else regarding issue, please feel free post back.

best regards,

anna wang
