Post by administrator » Fri Oct 01, 2021 1:44 pm

On the old server:
  • Browse to the folder: C:\Program Files\PaperCut (MF/NG)\Server\
  • Copy the files:application.license and server.properties and place them on the new server.
  • Create a backup of the PaperCut Database: PaperCut Menu Options --> Back-ups.
  • Copy the database backup to the new server.
On the new server:
  • Create the exact same printqueue's as the old server (Use printmanager)
  • Install the same version of PaperCut as the old server.
  • Stop the PaperCut Application Service.
  • Place the 2 files: application.license and server.properties in the "Server" folder of the new PaperCut installation.
  • Open "Command" as admin.
  • Run the following commands:
    • cd c:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\bin\win\"
    • db-tools init-db -f
    • db-tools import-db -f "pathtofile\Backup.zip" (Ex. C:\backup.zip)
  • Start the PaperCut Application Service.
If the server has a new name, you need to delete all printers and devices.
Printers can be deleted all at once with the command:

[*]server-command delete-printer <servername> “[All Printers]”
