Hey guys,
I'm trying to export the printer default settings from a Server 2008 (x86) to 2012 R2. The printer migration wizward had several problems with my Zebra label printers so I've wrote a script to create the printers on the new server (drivers pre installed). This works, but I've problems while transfering the printer default settings (in case of a label printer e.g. temperature and speed).
I'm exporting and importing the settings with:
The option g (global DEVmode) seems to be the right one, because it changes the default settings. But the values are wrong compared to the source printer.
The printer driver itself has a import/export function (with default settings dialog). If I export/import the settings from here, they are correct. But this is no option for > 100 printers.
So someone has an idea, whats going wrong?
Thanks and best regards
Andreas
