PrintBrm.exe - Migrating printers from Server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

hi everyone,

i'm trying migrate our printers windows server 2008 r2 brand new windows server 2012 r2. while doing this, want switch drivers newer version. tried year before printbrm.exe (but server 2008 r2 server 2008 r2), choosed tool again.

unfortunately fails @ point time. printer export , import succeeds every time, if i'm trying print testpage on new server, won't stop printing hyroglyphs... if install printer manually (same driver), works fine.

do have any solutions or ideas that? better troubleshooting, attached image of 1 failed testpage , code i've written, too. looking forward ideas.

best regards, andreas

export: printbrm.exe -b -s \\server -f c:\tools\filename.printerexport -nobin

import: printbrm.exe -r -f filename.printerexport -c brmconfig.xml –o force

brmconfig:

<brmconfig>   <plugins>   </plugins>     <languagemonitors>   </languagemonitors>     <drivermap>    <drv old="hp universal printing pcl 6" new="hp universal printing pcl 6 (v5.8.0)" />    <drv old="hp universal printing pcl 6 (v5.2)" new="hp universal printing pcl 6 (v5.8.0)" />    <drv old="hp color laserjet cp1510 series pcl6" new="hp universal printing pcl 6 (v5.8.0)" />    <drv old="hp laserjet p3011/p3015 pcl6" new="hp universal printing pcl 6 (v5.8.0)" />   </drivermap>  </brmconfig>

hi justin,

thanks reply. have solved problem few days ago, caused driver issue. printbrm not problem here. seems hp universal printing driver using had bug , not updated newer version. that's why printing test page unsuccessful. hp recommended, installed printers hand , scratch, that's how works.

best regards

andreas
