How to migrate Windows Server Core

Windows Server Core is NOT supported, but you can migrate printers set up on Windows Server Core to Printix through a temporary Windows server.

On the Windows Server Core computer:

  1. Press Windows+R.

    The Run dialog box appears.

  2. Type printmanagement.msc, then select OK.
  3. In Print Management, open the Action menu and select Export printers to a file.

    On the temporary print server:

  4. Install the Print Server Role on a new/different Windows Server in the same network as the Windows Server Core computer.
  5. In Print Management, open the Action menu and select Import printers from a file.
  6. Select the file you created in step 2.
  7. Install the Printix Client on the print server, then discover the printers.
