Hi 

I am trying to port all Printers from our existing Windows 2003 x86 Print 
Server to Windows 2008 x64 Print Server.  I don't want to port any of the 
drivers though.  I simply wish to export Printer names and Printer Ports.  I am 
running the following command from my Windows 2008 server: 

Printbrm -s \\x86server -b -f c:\admin\test.printerExport -nobin 

However I get the following error: 

Saved printer driver HP Color LaserJet 3700 PCL 6, Windows NT x86, 3 
Saved printer driver HP Color LaserJet 3700 PCL 5c, Windows NT x86, 3 
Saved printer driver HP Color LaserJet 2605dn_2605dtn PCL 6, Windows NT x86, 3 
Saved printer driver HP Business Inkjet 2250 (PCL5C), Windows NT x86, 3 
************ 54% ************ 

The following error occurred: 0x80070002. 
The system cannot find the file specified. 


I checked the registry on the Print Server.  The Business Inkjet is the first 
driver listed .  If I delete this key it then fails on the next Printer..




What changes do I need to make to rectify this? Alternatively is there an 
easier way to migrate printers/printer ports excl the driver? Windows Print 
Migrator unfortunately is not supported on 2008.  Im happy to migrate to a new 
Windows 2003 server if that makes the migration easier. 

ThankAng
