How to restore the print server configuration

To restore the printer configuration to another printer server, follow these steps:
1. Start Printer Migrator.
2. On the Actions menu, click Restore.
3. In the Look in box, locate the folder that contains the .cab file in which the printer configuration data was saved. For example, if you use the default name and location for the printer configuration information, the name of the file is Pm.cab. The file is located in the following folder:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Spool\Pm
4. In the File name box, type the name of the .cab file. For example, type Pm.cab.
5. In the Target server box, type the name of the destination printer server by using the following UNC format:
\\Servername
For example, type \\\\chicagotechprtsvr2.
 
6. Select the check boxes for the options that you want to set.
7. Click Open to start the restoration operation. When the restoration process starts, Printer Migrator 2000 temporarily stops the Print Spooler service and the Print Server for Macintosh service (if it is started) on the destination computer to restore print queue information.

A progress report is displayed the lower pane of the Printer Migrator 2000 window. The contents of this report is written to the Pm.log file. When the restoration process is finished, text that is similar to the following text is displayed at the end of the log file:
Restore complete.
Registry restored.
Starting Spooler...
Spooler Running
Starting MacPrint...
MacPrint Running
