I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 as a Print Server and very often I receive the error in SCOM:
The print spooler failed to regenerate the printer driver information for driver Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver for environment Windows NT x86. Win32 system error code 2 (0x2). This can occur after an operating system upgrade or because of data loss on the hard drive.
How to fix the issue?

At windows 7, I installed a printer named 888d, and install the driver of course.
I backup it with
PrintBrm -B -F D:\888d.printerExport
I didnot restart my computer, then I want to restore it with
PrintBrm -R -F D:\888d.printerExport -O FORCE
But the cmd told me
Operation mode: restore

Target file path: D:\888d.printerExport.

I took a backup of SBS2003 and installed in on same Hardware.
then migrated the Active directory to new box with windows server 2012, then clean up and Migrated same Active Directory to new box (windows 2016) with same name as SBS2003 and everything seemed OK.
(this process took about 4 months)(other problem like printers and remote users etc.)
I took the new Server onsite and unplugged the old SBS2003 and connected the new 2016 domain controler
when client rebooted they complained about the trust relationship ?
DO active directory lose there trust after awhile or I need to be looking somewhere else?
off course I could reestablish trust by rejoining but too many clients.
thanks
For you comments

I have a script that uses printui.dll to install printers as machine printers, using /ga. The script is a visual listing of the printer servers printers and the user chooses which one they want and hits install. For the last 5 years or so this has worked perfectly and the Windows Servers that have housed the print server roles have been Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012. They have always worked perfectly.
We are starting to migrate to Server 2016 for our enterprise and the prinui.dll is not working anymore.
This page is my reference for the command: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windowscommands/rundll32-printui
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ga /n"\\Print_Server.domain.domnet\PrinterQueue"
The command appears to result in a queue deployed, but it isn't visible to windows, only in:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

We have a Windows 2012 R2 test server which we use to test print drivers on server before deploying them to production print servers.
During one of the testing, an intern accidentally installed the HP UPD using the installer (instead of the inf add driver method we normally use.) What it does is instead of opening the properties of printers using UPD it opens a HP popup asking for IP Address. When you enter the IP it doesn't take it. There is no option to close it also. I have to close the print management to close it.
I removed and resinstalled the driver (using the inf method), still the pop-up comes.
I removed the driver, then removed it from driver store (unable to remove it from here) and reinstalled the driver. Still pop up comes.
I deleted the registry entries of all the drivers.
I found deleted the files and then tried to remove the driver (successful) and then remove from driver store (unsuccessful) and reinstalled it. Still the pop up comes.
I tried looking for uninstall for HP in Uninstall Programmes. Nothing there.
This is not happening with same driver on other Windows 2012 R2 server. It directly opens printer properties without any issues.
There used to be a print server cleanup tool offered by Microsoft but since it has been discontinued (not available for download anymore)
Is there anything else that I can try to remove the HP UPD?
1. It is seemed that we can use
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge /c\\MyPcName
to display all printers of my computer on the console. But I don't know how to do. Could you help me?
2. I don't know what is the "/ge" mean. Whatever printers I have installed, such as local, and shared, and a printer from other computer's sharing, I can't see any priner in the window.
At machine A, there is only one printer named "Deli 888-D".I store the printers by
Printbrm -B -F D:\888d.printerExport -NOBIN -NOACL
At machine B, I install the driver of the printer name "Deli 888-D".
As the administrator, I want to restore the printer with
Printbrm -R -F XYZ\888d.printerExport
But it told me some error

Dear all,
I need your kindly help in order to create a report that contains the amount of print jobs per months per queue on a server that host 600 queues, for the moment I manage to setup printing logs on the event logs in order to get all jobs.
at this point this is what I have construct:
$Results = Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable @{LogName="Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational"; ID=307;} -ComputerName $Computer
FOr the moment I anly got to know how many jobs for the hold server, now I need to get the amount per queue.
Thanks in advance for your help
Greetings all,
We're doing a network migration at my small office and now have a problem with our file & print server. Whenever I send a job (such as test page) to our Win2012R2 print server, the job never actually prints at the print device. The print queue on the print server shows the job is "Printing", and then "Restarting", and continues to loop indefinitely. I am pretty sure the problem is with the print server, because I print directly to the device (in this case a Xerox C60) at the new IP address. Drivers are current for our Windows 10 workstations. We are using the "Type 4 User Mode" drivers on the print server. Troubleshooting steps taken so far are:
0. Verified the print server can ping / reach the print device.
1. Created a new port at the new IP address. Mapped the printer to the new port. Same problem.
2. Deleted the share, device, and port. Recreated the printer and port. Same problem, and identified an additional one: when I attempt to share the printer, I get an error msg which says, "Sharing is not supported for this type of printer". Printer does not appear in the list of shared folders or devices when I run a net view\\servername.
Everything worked perfectly before I changed the IP address of the printer.
Any suggestions?
Hey folks, I have 600 printers that I must network map which are located across 6 print spoolers within our organization. These printers need to be mapped to this single server allow an application to push print jobs. Unfortunately
I don't think Windows 2008 R2 was ever designed to have this many printers mapped via network simultaneously. Once it reaches about 350 - 500 printers I start to experience problems after I restart the spooler. Examples include, the spooler crashing or the
logs showing that printers are being deleted with no explanation, driver errors... etc. Originally the design never had the print management service, however I'm looking for other options and now that I have it installed, i noticed that I can add other print
servers.
We went ahead and tested to see if simply adding the server to the print management screen would work for us. I deleted all printers that I had mapped via network, restarted the machine, added the print servers and attempted
a test. The results I got back shows that the printer was added via network, job was pushed and then the printer was automatically deleted. It worked!
My question is, is this the intended design? Is it sustainable? When we upgrade to 2k12 servers, is this something I can consider.
Alternatively we are looking at the ability to just go head and install the printers locally as non-shared printers by migrating the 600 printers from the other print servers... basically creating one massive private print server that is exclusive to the applications use.
Also note that when i'm referring to logs above, i'm referring to Event Viewer PrintService Operational logs.
Hello,
The SPOOLER service doesn't start.
I can't kill the SPOOLSV.exe service : access denied.
I have "start pending".
How to fix the issue.

The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6 time(s).
I also plan to restart the server.
Regards,
One of our customers, an elementary school, would like to allow certain (trusted) instructors to manage the print queues of Windows Server-managed laser printers. I have two questions about two different aspects of this:
1) Rights: Is making them members of the Print Operators group a sane choice, or is there a more "tailored" way to do this that's more appropriate?
2) Managing the queues: what tool(s) do I give them to actually allow them to manage the queues, without letting them on the server? Should I install the Print Management snap-in on each instructor's PC? Or just install the printers that are going to be managed on each instructor's PC, and have them use the same queue management utility that ships with Windows that they'd use to manage a locally-hosted printer?
I have just changed photocopiers from one manufacturer to another and deployed by gpo from print server but when i look at forms from client pc it is looking at local forms and not forms from the print server. How do i make client machines view forms from
print server. We have a lot of custom forms on the print server and can view them from print management on the server but cannot find a way to point clients to view from server instead of locally.
server 2012r2
clients windows 10
full domain
We are consolidating several application servers and consolidating into a single windows server 2012 R2 standard. We have 10 source servers each having 200+ printers installed on them.
We have been tasked to migrate all the printers from these 10 older servers (Windows server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2) and install onto a single instance of Windows server 2012 R2.
We know how to migrate the printers, there is no problem and we have been doing that already. However, going forward we would like to understand MS recommendations as to how many printers can a server hold/manage. I can see, the server responding too slow when accessing Devices & Printers.
Any MS recommendations, limitations or documentation link may be helpful in understanding how we can optimize the server load and performance.
Thanks in advance.

can I enable Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational logging enabled by GPO for domain controller?

I had my Printer driver checked by HP yesterday and Printer checks out. When I try to activate Printer Properties it will not open up so that I can change ink from normal to best or change type of paper in the printer options. I cannot open printer properties across programs. I think this occurred with one of the Windows 10 updates as I know this feature was working several months back. What do I do to correct this?
Thank you
