Print migration and old eDir object assoc. to manager

[bjitender]

hi,

In iprint migration in order to create the iPrint Printer Object in the
same context we have to rename the existing object. Sometime it happens
that when we have renamed the objects and if you login to iManager
iPrint Manager Print Manager it still shows the Older printer object.
This is a typical problem of eDirectory not syncronized with other
replicas. May if you would wait all the printer which you would have
tried migrting would have been renamed to _nw in the same container.
Please try migrating and ensure your replicas are in sync. It will work.
The newer iPrint printer agent would have been created on the same
container.

thanks
Jiten
