Migrating WSD printer ports between print servers


i have old print server (windows server 2012 rtm) many connected network printers. want replace new print server running windows server 2012 r2. played exporting , importing print server configuration , discovered although wsd ports information included in exported file, isn't imported on same server, printer redirected predefined file: port. there no problem importing standard tcp/ip ports.

it happened many connected printers (hp, canon , on) use wsd network ports. possible migrate new print server without reconnecting printers standard tcp/ip ports?

"hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\monitors\wsd port" key doesn't contain subkeys related printer ports.

hi evgeniy,

>> is possible migrate new print server without reconnecting printers standard tcp/ip ports?

only tcp/ip, wsd, , lpr ports migrated.

the printer migration wizard not migrate printers attached through usb, lpt, or other local ports.

for more information these scenarios , migrating plug , play printers, see appendix b - additional destination server scenarios.

>>"hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\monitors\wsd port" key doesn't contain subkeys related printer ports.

the wsd port monitor implemented in wsdmon.dll. 

this dll loaded under print spooler process (spoolsv.exe) , defined port monitor in following registry key: hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\monitors\wsd port.

for wsd-based print devices, wsd port monitor used default. 

if print device not support wsd port monitor, standard tcp/ip port monitor used instead.
