Procedure for Applying Changes After Changing NPrinting Server Hostname

[qwebnm]

We are planning to change the hostname of the NPrinting server.

Are there any specific steps that need to be taken for this change to be effective when using NPrinting?

Even though the URL does not seem to change when accessing the web console, NewStandard what steps should be taken to ensure the necessary adjustments?

Your response is appreciated if possible.

Thank you.

Hi, 

Changing hostname will have significant implications as whole NPrinting setup is built around it.

There are existing articles you can follow:

My approach is usually to: backup --> fresh install with new hostname --> restore repository to avoid issues.

Also note that you may have destinations created in your distibutions which use the hostname in a path so make sure you check that as well (NPrinting admin console-->Destinations-->Folders)
