Get queue and port information from old client.
The Microsoft tools prnmngr.vbs and prnport.vbs simplify the task of gathering information such as
queue names, driver names, port names, and IP addresses from the old server. This information can
be used later to create the new queues manually, or to automate the process by scripting. See
Automating the process through scripting on page 219 for more information about automation and
scripting.
