we have CentOS 3.7 on DELL server. I configured 10 network printers to it. Does there has way I can copy printer definition files to other server (same on 3.7 version)?
Thanks.

On the server you want to copy the printers from, do this:
printconf-tui --Xexport > printers.xml
copy printers.xml to the server where you want to add the printers and do this:
printconf-tui --Ximport < printers.xml
Then restart cups (or lprng if you're still running it).

Wow. Cool. One never stops to learn. Mind if I put that tip on the wiki?
Cheers,

Go for it. Hopefully it will save somebody the days of frustration we went through with duplicating printer configs across multiple machines. It also saved us from re-creating 300 print queues on our print server when somebody accidentally wiped them out (alchemist saves the 5 most recent configurations in compressed xml files in /var/cache/alchemist/printconf.local).

Yeah.
You do mind? :)
In fact it's a documented option (look at /usr/share/doc/system-config-printer-0.6.116.5/printconf-save-config.html) but it's a cool option anyway.
Ah, who actually looks into documentation? Okay, no idea who actually looks at a wiki :)
But that just stands out as something short and useful.
Cheers,
Ralph

I do the both frequently. I learned long time ago the meaning of RTFM acronym. And, of course, I also see the contents in the CentOS wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/PrinterDefinitions
Thanks for this, Ralph. Good work.
Thank for answer. I do exactly what you say and got error:

What does your printers.xml look like?
