Migrating Printers from XP to 7 (using USMT 4.0)
- by Luís Mendes
I'm attempting to migrate a user from an XP machine to a 7 machine, using USMT 4.0 (User State Migration Tool, from Microsoft). For some reason the migration of printers isn't working, and none of the topics at Microsoft's TechNet are helping me out. I'll list the topics, just for the record:

There was a suggestion to use a customized XML configuration file, to force the migration printers, but it didn't work as well. They also mention a folder named DIManifests, which has to be present in the USMT directory. I've tried everything, but with no success.
Can anyone please help me sort this one out? Apparently it's a bug, but there's gotta be some workaround.
Thank you!
