Dears,
I recently migrate our print server from 2008 r2 to server 2016 using migration tool in windows server 2016, after migration i have about 30 printer configured with SCAN TO Folder, all of them not working not able to communicate to new server.
Second issue some users not able to install print drivers and requires to update driver to get works, so my question regarding this matter should i install new drivers version on new windows server 2016 ?
Thanks in advance,
window Server2016, several printers. I can log in to a 64bit pc(windows 10) and install or connect to all the printers, no problems
I have 2 printers which 32bit and 64bit drivers were installed (via share and additional drivers I could see both X86 and 64)
but if I login with domain admin to a 32bit pc (XP Sp3) (I haven't try win 7 32) when try to connect to any of those printers I get prompt with username and password (when try to open any of them I get access Denied)?
I try using domain\administrator and password and it says no good.
this is on both printers with x86 and without x86 drivers.
I think the drivers may have been installed before.
A. where can I see or change the denied access?
B. I am trying to use the method to log into 32 bit OS and install the 32bit drivers for other ones.
This is the domain controller that was upgraded from 2003SBS to 2012 to then 2016
thanks
Freddie
what is the network server thru windows cannot set up fax from windows fax scan app
there is a remote server running Windows Server 2012 R2, I used to remote to the server for printer management.
now, I only can see drivers and ports in management console, but can't see printers list in printer management console, I can see printers in Control Panel/Devices and Printers.
I looked at some articles, however, I didn't see those windows patch installed on my server.
I am looking forward to your suggestions. thank you.
From some months ago, the following Printer Service logs are not generating any new event. The logs affected are:
I have searched through the Registry and I found these two keys empty (no dll specified as EventMessageFile or ProviderGuid gived):
the last events i could read from Admin and Operation event logs, reports the same kind of message:
The description for Event ID 307 from source Microsoft-Windows-PrintService cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on
the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
What kind of problem could be? Is it possible some MS updates cause this problem? The last two updates before that happened areKB4074587 and KB4054998.
Thanks for the help you could give.
We have a network with about 500 printers. We want to transition to Print Management. The team wants the following access behavior:
1) Add printers to the print manager
2) Set the authorized groups for the given printer
3) Choose the option to List the printer in the directory, this allows the user to see all available printers when adding a printer. It should not be necessary to "Promote the printer to Group Policy"
Problem:
When a User goes to "Add a Printer", they can see every printer in the Directory, whether they are authorized to use it or not. It does require them to enter a password, but this is not the desired behavior.
We don't want users having to navigate through 500 printers to add one or two, relevant to their department or location.
Please advise
Note: If you're going to tell me to use GP Management to accomplish this, then please provide an example. I believe the procedure for this simply adds relevant printers automatically, and doest show a list of available authorized printers
Hi,
I have been tasked with deploying a new Server 2012 print server. This will be my first one as we had software that would take care of this for us (Printer Logic). I'm not sure why we went this direction in the first place but we did for some reason. We are moving away from this now.
What does Microsoft recommend as far as best practice when setup a print server? Should I use a separate drive or should I just use the C: drive to install all the drivers? My question is do I need 2 drives (one OS & another for printers)?
Greetings,
I am trying to install a network printer. I am using PaperCut as printing server. Any idea how can install a printer from none-microsoft print server?
Print spooler service hung starting after July 2018 Windows updates on 2008 R2 servers only.
Restarting the server temporarily resolves issue. Spooler service hangs approx once a day only impacting 2008 R2 servers not 2012 R2 or 2008.
Anyone run into this issue after this months (July 2018) Windows updates? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
We are trying to migrate the current windows 2003 print server in cluster to windows 2016 r2 high availability. My ask here is,
1. Is it possible to migrate print service role from 2003 to 2016 directly or should I migrate from 2003 to 2012 and then migrate to 2016?
2. Is there any documentation to migrate print server cluster from 2003 to 2012 or 2016?
3. Is there possibility of using follow me print solution (of HP or canon) to integrate with print server?
Thanks
Hi,
I have RDS server to terminal work and I make connect to application with RDweb.
Users haved mapping printers with GPO, but it does not always work properly and some are missing printers in terminal session.
In Event Log I have a lot of many events about GPO didn't apply.

We run a few 2012 R2 print servers and a few hundred printer shares. We've got everything finely tuned: GPOs to allow non-admins to install printers, GPOs to install printers, shared/isolated & packaged type 3 drivers when not using a type 4, and so on. Everything hums along as normally as one could expect from a Windows print environment.
The hang-up I have is the timing of clients getting updated printer drivers. (New printer assumes the identity of an old printer, existing printer needs different driver for certain functionality, etc.) I recall reading MS documentation saying that client's installed instances of printers are supposed to pick up on the change on the next print job, but that rarely -- if ever -- happens. Even removing a printer, rebooting, and letting group policy reinstall the printer on next login still uses the previous driver for the printer share. Eventually after just uninstalling & reinstalling & rebooting for some length of time, the client will have the printer installed with the updated driver. This is pretty much the story on Win7, Win8.1, and any version of Win10 from the reports I've gotten from my user support team.
Am I expecting the wrong thing to happen? Should I be deleting/recreating printer shares instead of only changing the driver on an existing one? Is there some client-side command or procedure to make it clear whatever is caching the old driver and force it to grab the one from the server anew?
Any guidance or anecdotes from the field or links to documentation on this would be a great help, because "reinstall it 'til it works" isn't cutting it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I want to install a network shared printer in a local admin account. I logged into a domain joined computer with local admin account. I open the printer server in Windows Explore by \\printerserver, I double clicked the shared printer icon and I prompted
for user credential, then I entered my domain account credential, but I got access deny error.
My question is how I can install a network shared printer for local computer account?
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I have a scheduled task on Windows which runs every time an user prints something. The trigger is the Event 307 of PrintService.
It works fine. But I need it to run when the user uses any of the printers, except for one. Is there any way to add an exception for this trigger based on the choosen printer?
Thanks!
Some months ago we switched to Windows Server 2016 and since then we have a lot of problem with network printers.
We have 2 printer servers (old is w2k3, new is w2016). We want to switch to w2016, but not printer was moved to new one yet. But the problem bellow is not depend on the printer server.
Sometimes and some user(s) can not print to shared printers ever. (while the other users can) There is no error message and the printers still on the installed printers list. We can solve the problem by remove the printer from the user and install it again. When we uninstall printer it ask the administrator account, and remove the printer from the printer server too. We have to reinstall on printserver, share and reinstall it for all users. After this procedure everybody can print for a while.
There are application on the RDS server which does not always see printers (except the "Microsoft print to PDF on PORTPROMPT":)
Could anybody give us some advice to avoid the infinite printer un- and re-installation series?
Hi,
We have a win2k12 server running a windows service that initiates a batch process thats printing pdf files to a network printer.
We have NoInteractiveServices disabled for the 2k12 server and the service runs with domain admin user permissions.
The print server thats sharing the printers is a win2k3 in a different network and domain.
At start all was working fine. The printer was installed on the 2k12 machine after connecting to 2k3 server and installing the driver.
After we restarted the 2k12 server, printing using the service stopped with error code 5, access denied.
The printer is still accessible and printing manually from 2k12 server works. The access denied message appears in the printer spooler.
There were no changes in the infrastructure and all permissions seems to be there. Network port are open and we can see dialog via wireshark between the servers.
What we can't understand, where is the access denied coming from?
Thanks in advance,
Maxim.
