Hi Bob
It's been a while since I did this, but from what I can remember...make
sure you back up your iprint.ini file. It will get overwritten when you
patch. Also, check to see if there are any post-sp7 patches out there
for iPrint. I'm pretty-sure that there are. I'm assuming you're on SP1
on the servers in your cluster right now...if so, there's some structure
changes to the print manager (if I remember right), so once you load the
manager on a patched server, don't try to load it back on a server that
is still at SP4 or older....maybe even SP5 (I can't remember where that
delineation is). Also, make SURE to back up all your print objects
before you start. I remember that when I did mine, something bad
happened (I cannot recall the exact details), and I spent the afternoon
on the phone with Kaycee, rebuilding all my print managers, and
importing xml files to make the printers right again. (I failed to back
them up before I started).
Good luck
Sam
