You have a print server named Server1. Server1 runsWindows Server 2008 R2. You have a file server named
Server2. Server2 runs Windows Server 2012.
You need to migrate all of the printers on Server1 to Server2.
Which actions should you perform on the servers?

printbrm -p all:org – Publishes all printers in the directory, or publishes printers that were published originally.
While the original server is still running, use the Printer Migration Wizard or the Printbrm.exe command-line tool to export or back up the print information (such as settings, queues, and drivers) in a printer settings file. Then, import or restore this backup image to a destination server running Windows Server 2012 that has been configured to run as a print server.

The answers seem correct. Printbrm does not have such parameters as “-p all:org”. According to steps in reference below, you have to export the settings on first server, then import them on the second one preceded by installing Print and Documents Services role.

Printbrm.exe does have that parameter “-p all:org”.

By me:
SERVER1: From Printer Management console, export the printers
SERVER2: Install Print and Document Service role
SERVER2: From Printer Management console, Import the printers
Why do I need to install the Print and Document service feature while Server2 is already a file server????????????
There are two roles:
1. File and Storage Services
and
2. Print and Document Services
You need to install role Print and Document Services so you can export/import printers.
