Deploy local printers to Windows XP

- Go to a computer without any printer installed, login as administrator and  install all the printers you need to deploy.
- download & run UTFG://printmig.exe go to Actions and click on Backup - save the cab file with the name printers.cab
- download  UTFG://ListComps.exe and run listcomps.exe /D:MY_DOMAIN >> comps.txt
  (replace MY_DOMAIN with the domain you're in) edit the file comps.txt in order to remove unwanted computers, servers...
- in a command prompt type the following line: for /F %r in (comps.txt) do printmig.exe -i -r printers.cab \\%r 
- now watch printmig spawning an instance for every computer and pushing the drivers to all of them
- enjoy a beer 

if before you want to remove ALL the old network printers you can use my (somehow pretty drastic) method of deleting.
Add this .vbs script to the user login or use psexec.exe to launch it:

------------------BEGIN HERE--------------------

sPath = "Printers\Connections"
lRC = DeleteRegEntry(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath)
Function DeleteRegEntry(sHive, sEnumPath)
' Attempt to delete key.  If it fails, start the subkey enumration process.
lRC = objRegistry.DeleteKey(sHive, sEnumPath)

Next   
On Error Goto 0
' At this point we should have looped through all subkeys, trying to delete the key again.

Configure DHCP options for Nortel IP Phones

In DHCP manager right-click the IPv4 and choose "Set Predefined Options" click "Add", name "blah", data type string, code 128, no description, click OK. Now, in the String field type: Nortel-i2004-A,10.0.0.4:7000,1,10. The BCM IP is here 10.0.0.4, the default port is 7000, the first parameter (action) is always 1, the second parameter (10) is the retry number and pay attention, there is a dot (.) at the end! 

Cloud Print on an old local printer

add printer in local cups. make sure it prints. some printers require loading a firmware stub. in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local I have the following line:
/usr/share/hplip/firmware.py -n -p HP_LaserJet_1020



open chrome as a normal user (in our case luser23)
go to chrome://devices/
click add printer. follow instructions.

create the following init script and make sure is executed at startup

cat /etc/init.d/cloudprint

Install HPSUM on an rpm base distro

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

cp /mnt/compaq/psp/linux /tmp/

cd /tmp/linux

./hpsum

- check for the prerequisite, usually you need expect, kernel-headers, rpm-build, gcc, libnl, redhat-rpm-config, openipmi and net-snmp  either form the redhat installation dvd (rpm -Uvh package), or you can use "yum install package" if you have yum repositories configured.

- you need to manually install hp-snmp-agents package from the hp dvd, it is not installed by hpsum (I presume it's a glitch). hp-snmp-agents needs hp-health (you find them both in the /tmp/linux directory that you just copied from the dvd)

- re-run ./hpsum untill you have no conflicts/unresolved dependecies!

- after installation and reboot run /sbin/hpsnmpconfig - you have to provide only the readonly (public) and the read/write (private) comunity for snmp.

- if everything seems ok, edit /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/cma.conf lin 22: trapemail . at the end of the line replace root with your email address - REMEMBER: you need a functional sendmail in order to be able to send emails!

HP Important Note:   The server needs to have 'sudo' installed in order to start or stop the snmp daemon and to send test traps.   'sudo' grants controlled root access to groups or users.   If installed after hp-snmp-agents please run a '/sbin/hpsnmpconfig'. In case of VMware ESX 3.x series, please run '/etc/init.d/hpasm reconfigure' after installation of hpasm.   These buttons will NOT work if 'sudo' is configured to only run when the user is logged into a 'real' tty.   To be able to perform the operations of start, stop, restart of the snmpd daemon, the user must comment out the line 'Defaults requiretty' in the /etc/sudoers file.   See man sudoers for details about the 'requiretty' flag.   If present, this flag will need to be removed from the '/etc/sudoers' configuration file.   The 'send trap' button also requires a tool snmptrap to be present on the system.   This tool is often bundled with the snmp stack (Suse) or in a package called 'net-snmp-util' (Red Hat).
