Deploying printers without Group Policy

September 7, 2014, 6:47 pm

A little background first, I work for a company with 10+ sites while only 2 sites actually are in a domain. Everyday I am getting work orders for adding a ip printers to every machine because they want to print to any printer within their location. I understand the print services within windows server 2008 and how I can deploy them easily through group policy. The problem is the majority do not have the domain infrastructure to do this.

Which leads me to my question of, how and what would be the most painless way of deploying printers to all computers in particular subnets between sites? Create a batch file to add the printers and run it on the each workstation? Create a network share for printers? or it is possible to force adding a new printer over the network without a group policy. Thank you all in advance

Shared spool drive between multiple servers?

September 8, 2014, 6:06 am

Hi there,

Hoping that someone in here have some knowledge to share J

I am currently working on a design for a global print service within the company where I work.

Despite the issues introduced in April 2014 with the KB2919355 I am still convinced that Windows Server 2012 R2 is the right OS as this gives us some administrative advantages over 2008.

What I would like to do (as Hyper-V is a no go in this company) is to use the Citrix PVS to have a master server image and then load it on to X servers. This would enable us to a) have a Load Balancer in front for spreading the load b) always have a clean server c) push queues to multiple servers without any interaction and d) just add additional servers if the load becomes +75%.

However the one issue I am up against is the spool files. Usually the spool directly resides locally on the server and is not shared with other servers. However as we plan to have multiple servers it would be really neat (well actually required!) to have a shared spool drive for all servers. This would allow the other servers to take over if one crashes.

Would anyone have some information/tricks to share so I can somehow achieve the above?

Thanks,

David

Intermittent printing problems with Server 2012 R2 and Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit

2 months ago I set up a 2012 R2 print server to replace our 2003 server. I did a complete fresh install of everything.  Did not export and import into the new server. We also upgraded our domain from 2003 to 2012.

I thought everything was fine but am now having problems with printers installing on our Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit computers.  We have a mix of Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and Ent 64bit.  The 64bit is new since moving to the 64bit print server.  The 32 bit clients seem to be working fine as they always did.

Our Enterprise 64 bit clients are not working consistently.  I have tried several things and searched unsecessfully for an answer.

  I have disable point and print on both user and computer GPO

  I have tried pushing out through GPO the printers - I have tried this from within GPolicy editor and right from Deploy printers on the server.

  I have tried connecting to the server and connecting them by clicking "connect" on the shared printer.

Each way that I install them, it does install but doesn't always work.  It doesn't matter if you are a local admin or not.  It doesn't even matter if you are a domain admin.  I can login one time and it works and then do a reboot and it comes up with yellow exclamation point.  I also have the Event ID errors of 600 and 601 saying that it failed to install the driver from the server.

The only way I can get it to work consistently is to install them as a local IP printer.  I don't want to do this.

Anyone have any ideas?  I have run out of things to try.

Hi Frieands,

We have a problem. We have been using Windows Server 2008.  Printer installed on Windows Server can't be used after we locked OS (windows button + L). Is there a solution in group policy or in something else to enable printer when PC is locked. 

Please give a hand ASAP:

Thanks and Regards,

Windows Print Server 2008 Migration - Concatenating .spl files and trying to print, results in the job not being submitted to the queue.

September 11, 2014, 11:19 am

We are in the process of migrating from print server 2003 to 2008 and have an existing .bat file that has commands to combine a few hundred .spl files into a single .spl before releasing it to the print queue. This script was a simple COPY command and an lpr in 2003.

We replaced the COPY command with a FOR %I IN (D:\*.spl) DO TYPE %I>>  D:\WHOLE.spl

The files are now all appended into a single file, however, we are unable to submit it successfully to a print queue via 2008 R2, almost like the file format is not supported for printing.

This approach works well with 2003, however. 

Are you aware of any workarounds for such a situation?

Thanks!

Windows 8.1 Update - issues deploying printers via GPO from a 2012R2 Print Server

September 15, 2014, 9:10 am

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a single printer to Windows 8.1 clients in a K-12 environment. We have about 1200 laptops and about 25% of those laptops are installing the printer. Several different users can log on and the printer may or may not be there. The printer is being deployed to the Computer not the User. If the printer was successfully installed shouldn't the printer be available immediately after logging in with different AD accounts? Sometimes it shows up 10mins later as if it needed to install it again. I read the changes from v3 to v4 printing in Windows 8, Ive checked the event log errors, printer shares, etc. Deploying Printers to Windows 8.1 clients is poor at best even when it supposed to be easier for IT to manage. Also I was under the impression that Windows 8.1 clients do not attempt to downloads drivers from a windows print server anymore as they opt to use a v4 print class driver.

Environment Details:

Windows 2012R2 Printer Server all patched, Windows 8.1 all patched, AD users are identical as well as the computers (reside in the same OUs) Printer is deployed to the computers, Point and print restrictions is completely disabled. Restarting the print spooler on the client has little to no effect. Computers connect wirelessly to the network and print server is in the same building. Started pushing to the user as well to see if it helps. Windows 7 clients are unaffected and get the printer consistently.

Errors:

The print spooler failed to download and import the printer driver from \\Server into the driver store for driver KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS. Error code= 800f0242.

The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\Server\print$\x64\PCC\koazca__.inf_amd64_664b51505681ff6d.cab into the driver store for driver KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS. Error code= 800f0242. This can occur if there is a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.

The default printer was changed to \\Server\Konica_Copier,winspool,Ne05:. See the event user data for context information.

Hi 

 I have a print server with domain a.net. All installed printers are published in domain a.net, two other domains b.net and c.net are also getting services from this print server. These all three domains are under the same forest and replication between all domains are enabled and working fine. The users of a.net are getting printing services fine. But b.net and c.net users are unable to get this service. They are getting " No login server available" error when printing

Thanks in advance

Slow printing, why is this?!

Hello!

I got a really delicate problem that I'm unable to figure out. And I would like some input from Reddit before I take the big step of opening a case at Microsoft.

I'm working as a consultant in the SMB-segment of IT. With that I have daily fights with regular PCs, virtual enviorments, networking and of course: Printers.

A couple of months ago we deployed a new printserver (Windows Server 2012), dedicated to a printing software for labels (Nicelabel). This printserver takes care of about 30 labelprinters, all from the same brand (Datamax-O'Neil MP Nova4). In the beginning of the deployment everything went stunning! Printing a label would'nt take less than 2-3 seconds and everybody was happy!

But since a couple of weeks back, we've seen horrible performance of the printing. Printing a label takes 10 seconds now days (exactly 10 seconds) on all the printers on that server. The label that's about to get printed (weather it's generated from the printing software, or simply a test page in Windows) gets stuck in the Printspool, and let's go after 10 seconds.

I've tried to disable bidirectional support, disabled "Advanced Printing Features" and changing the VLAN (so the printserver is on the same VLAN as the printers). Still the same problem. We are using the recommended driver from DATAMAX themself (according to them, there is no problem with the driver at all).

The printers has been deployed on the server with two simple Powershell-commands (see below):

add-printerport -name "$portname" -printerhostaddress "$portip"​
add-printer -name "$printername" -drivername "$driver" -port "$portname".

If I add another printer, let's say a HP 2055dn with Universal Print Driver, the printing process is working like a charm.

So, printer gurus at TechNet. What would you do?

Best regards, sad-consultant-who-deals-with-printers

Does Windows 2008 Print management have to install on a domain controller? Is it ok to install it on Windows 2008 Standard 32-bit server? Does the printer server use a lot of memory or cpu? What is the disk and ram requirement?

Please advise. Thank you very much!

Windows 8.1 Print Spooler Strangeness

The "Print Spooler" service entry has disappeared from services.msc

However I can still print, access my printers, and run net stop spooler and net start spooler and the service stops and restarts

But it's just not there in the GUI.

I've gone through several attempts to reinstall the service but nothing has changed the situation.

sfc /scannow comes back with no component store corruption.

Any Suggestions?

GPP creating multiple copies in registry

September 18, 2014, 12:15 pm

We use GPP to deploy TCP/IP printers to a few key workstations. The GPP printers are configured for 'Replace' so when the print server driver(s) are updated, the GPP printers will pick up the new driver and install them on the clients.  This does not happen of the GPP printer action is set to 'Create' or 'Update'.  

Anyways, happened to be digging through the registry on one of these Win7 PCs and noticed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\ there are literally hundreds of entries for the same printer.  Example:

 

Control Panels -> Printers & Devices - only shows one printer.  Many of the latest Windows printing related hotfixes are installed too.  It occurs for multiple printer vendor drivers, so it would appear to be a Windows specific issue.

Anyone seen this before?

Windows Server 2012 R2 - GPO Deployed printer, appears multiple times

Hello everyone :)

We have a Terminal Server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.

On the server we are deploying printers from a Print Server (Windows Server 2008 R2), via Group Policy.

We are having some issues, with the amount of printers being deployed... If a user is member of a Security group they a getting a printer deployed.

But even if the user isnt part of the Group, they are getting the deployed printers - and many of the same!

Even if removing the user from the Security Group, which the GPO is deployed to - and deleting the Roaming profile from Advanced System Properties, and the TSProfile Folder from the netshare - then the problem occurs again!

Why is this happening?

I receive the following error on a newly installed 2012 R2 fax server when sending from the Windows Fax and Scan console:

 "The Message could not be sent.  The wait operation timed out."

The test fax that fails only contains text that I type into the body.  However, if I add an attachment, the fax is successful.

Any ideas??
