Working with Print Device Definitions
Importing Print Device Definitions from another NetWare Server
If you want to use another NetWare server’s print device definition, you
must import the definition from that server. First export the print device
definition from the original server into a .PDF (Print Definition) file. You can
then import the .PDF file to the database on your server. You can copy only
one definition at a time.
You must have the Supervisor right (user Admin or equivalent) on both
NetWare servers (or the Admin of the other server will need to help you).
Figure 9-2 illustrates the steps in copying a print device definition. This
example shows how to copy a typical print device definition from NetWare
server MARKETING to NetWare server SALES.
First, export the definition from the PRINTDEF database on MARKETING
to the SYS:PUBLIC directory on MARKETING. Then import the definition
from the SYS:PUBLIC directory on MARKETING to the PRINTDEF
database on SALES.
