        About PrintMig
        PrintMig is a 32-bit Windows utility for migrating existing Windows 
        95/98 and Windows NT printer ports from one network print queue to another. 
	PrintMig can move printer ports to either Microsoft NT or Novell NetWare servers. 
        This utility is extremely handy when switching or migrating users from 
        one server to another.
         
        Program Setup
        PrintMig does not require any setup on the client PC. Unzip PrintMig.zip 
        and extract all the files to a network directory accessible by all your 
        Windows 9x clients. 

          Description of Files 
            
          Printmig.exe - Main program executable
          Wbdbt32i.dll - Main program dll
	  wwprt32i.dll - Supplemental program dll		
          Printmig.ini - Printmig configuration file
          Printmap.ini - Printer port mapping file
          Regsoft.exe - Printmig registration utility
          Regsoft.cfg - Registration configration file.

        Using PrintMig
        To use PrintMig, you must first edit 2 configuration files, printmig.ini 
        and printmap.ini. 

        By default, PrintMig looks for the printmap.ini in the directory where 
        it was run from. If you wish to change the location in which PrintMig 
        looks for this file, edit the printmig.ini and add a value to the 
        MappingFileLocation key under the [Settings] section.

        Also, by default, PrintMig will record all events in printmig.log, which 
        will be created under the users Windows directory. If you wish to change 
        the location where PrintMig puts this log file, edit the printmig.ini 
        and add a value to the UserLogFileLocation key under the [Settings] 
        section

	When RenamePrinter is set to 1, PrintMig will rename the Windows 95 printer 
	name to the NT style of <Share> on <Server>, example; HPLJ4 on NTSERVER1. 
	Set this value to 0 if you do not want to rename users current printer names. 
	This value is ignored on NT workstations as they automatically use this printer 
	naming convention.
        

	Example of a default printmig.ini
        [Settings]
        KeyCode=########## (Registered versions will have a value here)
        MappingFileLocation=
        UserLogFileLocation=
	RenamePrinter=0	

        Example of a printmig.ini with non-default values
        [Settings]
        KeyCode=########## (Registered versions will have a value here)
        MappingFileLocation=\\ntsrv1\swdist\printmap.ini
        UserLogFileLocation=f:\printmig.log
	RenamePrinter=1

        Using PrintMig with SMS or other Software Distribution Tools
        The only files that need to be distributed in order for PrintMig to 
        function are:
          Printmig.exe
          Wbdbt32i.dll
	  Wwprt32i.dll	
          Printmig.ini
          Prntmap.ini - (only if default value is kept in printmig.ini)

        PrintMig Parameters
        PrintMig has several different "modes" of operation based on the command 
        line parameters passed to it.
          Printmig.exe /inv 
          This mode will do a printer inventory only and log it to printmig.log 
            
          Printmig.exe /setlocal 
          This mode will inventory current printers and ports and log it to 
          printmig.log. Setlocal will also change all printer ports from there 
          network queues to LPT1. This is EXTREMELY useful when changing clients 
          from one server to another. This prevents the problem where Windows 9x 
          will prompt you to login to the old server. This mode is normally used 
          before a client is moved to another server. After the server move, 
          printmig.exe /migrt is executed to move the printer ports to the new 
          server. (This mode is currently not supported in PrintMig v3). 
            
          Printmig.exe /migrt 
          This mode will do a printer migration only. At some point, you should 
          have already run printmig.exe /inv or printmig.exe /setlocal. 
            
          Printmig.exe /all 
          This mode will create a printer inventory and then migrate the 
          printers all in one step 
         
   
        Registering PrintMig
        This is the first screen you will see after starting PrintMig. To 
        register, select Yes. If you would like to continue evaluating PrintMig, 
        select No. Unregister versions will bring up this registration screen 
        each time its executed and will prompt you after the printer inventory 
        has completed and prompt you before each printer queue migration.
        If you selected Yes, this screen allows you to register PrintMig. You 
        have the option of registering via the Web, by Fax or by Phone. Checks, 
        money orders and credit cards are available payment options.
        Once you have registered, you will receive a KeyCode via Email. Once you 
        have received this KeyCode, press Exit to continue the registration 
        process.
        Enter KeyCode and press OK to complete the registration process. Thanks 
        again for selecting PrintMig!
