Hi,

We have a network printer, i want to allow only specific AD group to use it. And i want to restrict all the other domain users and work group user. Will there be any possibilities of any non join computer with local admin rights can install that printer ?. And also i want to secure the printer data either by encrypting it or any other way and what other security settings can apply to make it more secure.

Thanks.

The issue is following:

The Hp printer (LaserJet pro m501)  is in office for a long time now, and I just installed 2 new hp (elitbook 1040 g4) laptops one of them does everything correct. The other on the other hand doesn't show in printerselectionscreen. It does show up in computermanagement and in devices and printers. The profile which is used worked on a other system without issues so I don't think its the profile. As far as I can tell right now is the laptop the only one with issues when trying to print. When I try to add this printer a error will popup and say that the printer is not reachable, but on a other pc it works like a charm.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

With kind regards.

Hello,

We have Windows 8.1/Windows 10 users who give print jobs via print queue. From few days, users are reporting that they were unable to give print jobs/test pages from all the print queue's that were sitting on one print server. Restarting the print spooler fixed the issue but the issue came back after few days. I'm trying to find the root cause and permanent fix for this issue as restarting the print spooler service is a temporary work around for this. 

Below are my findings:

• Print spooler service has no dependencies.
• From the event logs i see Event ID 372 with the below description:  The document Microsoft Outlook - Daily Style, owned by XXXXX, failed to print on printer XXXXX. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler. Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 813732. Number of bytes printed: 512624. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: XXXX. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 122. The data area passed to a system call is too small. 
• I was'nt able to replicate the issue from my end as the users were able to print after the spooler service restart.
• i tried to print few pages to see if it breaks.(As suggested https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/13c5aa49-5fe9-4b5f-95b9-672b22e9d6b9/win32-error-code-returned-by-the-print-processor-122-the-data-area-passed-to-a-system-call-is-too?forum=winserverprint)
• The print server(WS2008 R2) and Client's machines are patched with latest updates.
• We have same set of drivers on other print servers and we haven't came across this kind of issue on them.
• I noticed that print jobs are failing initially on few Print queue's and after some time the failure is on all the print queue's that are sitting on the print server .

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

I am trying to deploy a printer that is connected to my laptop via USB. I am trying to use local group policy to accomplish this. I have done the following in the admin account:

1) Connected the printer Cannon MG3500 to my laptop and installed the drivers.

2) Shared this printer on my home network which is of type Private.

3) I see the printer connected in my admin account.

Now my laptop has three non-admin users; Test, Test1 and Test2. I want to deploy this printer only to Test and Test1 users. Test2 should not be able to install the printer drivers and use them.

Now, while logged in as admin, I open group policy editor and make sure that the following setting are enabled:

1) local computer GPO admin-templete>System>Driver Installation - Set to allow non-admin user to install printer drivers

2) Local computer GPO admin-templete?Printers>Point and Print Restrictions - Enabled. I specified the print server's name (my local laptop \\Prashant) and set the security prompts to Do not show warning or elevation prompt

3) Local computer GPO admin-templete>Printers>Package Point and Printe> Enabled. I specified the print server's name (my local laptop \\Prashant)

I verified that network discovery and file and printer sharing is turned on for private network.

Now I can deploy the printer for the whole computer in the GPO local computer policy and the printer gets deployed, no problem.

When I try to go deploy the printer in the GPO Local Computer\Test Policy (Test user policy) it always shows the printer status pending, I don't know why.

So does this mean that I can deploy the printer, I have to deploy it for the whole computer and cannot do it for specific users? (non-admin)

Also I tried deploying the printer using print management, right-click on the printer and select deploy with group policy. This did not work as well.

I am trying to do this on a laptop that is running Windows 10 Pro and is not connected to a DC.

Can someone please help me with my dilemma ?

Thank you

Aloha Everyone,

I have a server  set up to be only a print server, with one printer connected. I have a office with 17 workstations not on AD.I networked all computers to the print server, connected the printer on all workstations, no probelms

sometime during the day two workstations forgot the printer was there, and i tried to re-connect, and I got the message

Windows cannot connect to printer

now a hour after everyone left, I am able to add the computer that wouldn't connect. am i somehow limited to how many people can connect at a time? How do i up that limit?

all workstations are windows 10, server is 2012 r2

Hi Guys,

After replacing some Xerox printers we are struggling with crashing PrinsIsolationHost.exe processes.
Some information about drivers/hardware, we are using Xerox GPD PS V5.6.17.7.0 ( PostScriptsDriver ) driver. 
This driver are we using for 5 printers, the model of these devices are "Xerox AltaLink C8055"

We have also en separated Windows 2012 R2 Print server.  These problems will show up after opening Outlook and requesting for a print preview. After some seconds Outlook and Print Spooler/PrintIsolationhost are no longer responding. 

Bellow you can find one of those dump files after the crash. Every day we have on each Remote Desktop server 10 or 15 Report.WER files about this problem.

I hope that someone has an idea or solution. Thanks in advance

Report.WER: 

How do i setup Branch Office Printing?  Do I need two IPs assigned to the printer and setup a printer pool?  If so what is the second IP for?  I have enabled Branch office printing on a printer but when the network cable (my print server is a VM, I am testing this feature) is pulled from the printer I am not able to print

Hi,

Hoping someone can help, this is driving me nuts!

Server 2016, Print Management installed with Internet Printing enabled. Trying to add an IPPS print queue by going to:

Control panel
Devices and Printers
The Printer I want isn't Listed
Select a shared printer by name

Then adding: https://DNS_Address_of_Printer.domain.local/IPPS

Resulting action is an immediate and generic error of: Windows couldn't connect to the printer. Check the printer name.......

The DNS address of the printer resolves correctly. The SSL cert for the the printer is in the correct store on the server, when browsing via https to the printer webpage there is no warning.

Connecting to the same printer, from a Windows 10 PC on the same subnet as the 2016 server, using the same steps as above, works perfectly!

Any thoughts very much welcomed!

Hi all,

We have different office locations and we map printers based on the IP range of each location.

This works fine up to now. The main problem is that each location has a couple of printers and, based on the floor of each department, I´d like to set a default printer.

Is this possible, as we just managed to map the whole IP-range printers and set a default printer for all the specific location.

Thanks in advance,

Eduardo

We have a Server 2012 print server that is also running PaperCut.  Everyone in the company is able to see the job title in the print queues.  I have checked to make sure that everyone is not set as an admin on the server or the queues.  I thought by default this was supposed to be changed in 2012 to display Print Document if you do not own the print job.  I know PaperCut aslo has a feature to hide the print job title, but it hides it from everyone even admins.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Windows Fax & Scan is unable to dial the internal modem.

This problem had been solved. A recent in-place windows restore broke it. I can’t find what I did to fix it previously.

Windows Server 2016

This is the relevant section of setupapi.dev when I try to add a new driver. This doesn't appear to be a driver corruption issue, as I am unable to add the printer using a generic driver that is already installed to the server, and being used on other printers.

In addition to this, after testing I am unable to add printers from the Print server to other machines in the domain, including our RDS farm. The error given is "Operation failed with error 0x0000057"

we have 4 HP printer installed on our print server.

All printers stopped working and not printing , checked on print server but unable to check any property as giving error message that the printer is not installed and if I want to install printer press yes but after reinstalling this whole thing stuck in a loop.

I have seen  Allan Morris provided a solution with changing HPTrayCount to 12 .

so far I have tried to restart the spool service but no change same error .  Do I need to restart this print server after changing this HpTrayCount to 12 ? 

or if there is any other solution please let me know.

Hi all,

I hope some of you experts might be able to offer some useful advice, for a non expert like myself.

I'm facing an issue where a customer has 7 identical new Konica Minolta MFD printers, Which have replaced the earlier generation kit. They are shared from a 2008 R2 print server via GPO and run a terminal server which is randomly dropping print queues for 6 of the 7 devices, in no particular order.

So far we've updated the drivers to the latest and all firmware on the printers is up to date. They've tried to manually map the print queues (\\RDSPRINT\PRINTER1 etc.) instead of using group policy, but yet again the queues either do not all show up or randomly disappear. If you try to manually add one that has dropped off, or not appeared on start-up you can receive the message that the printer already exists, but it does not display so cannot be used.

They have tried deleting the printers, but it feels like something might be getting left behind. Any advice on the most reliable method of removal of all trace of the print queues might help.

Or could this be a Server 2008 R2 known issue that perhaps will not get solved due to end of life in Jan next year?

Please forgive any mistakes I may have made in my description, our customer is simply too busy to look into it any further at this point, so I'm trying to be proactive and possibly get some answers/pointers to assist.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello everyone

I have a Windows 2012 R2 print server, and i have an issue with some drivers.

When i open the Print management, and check the drivers in the list of my server, they are all installed, but when i try to install a printer, when i have to select the existing driver, some of then are not showing up.

This issue occurs for different drivers from different constructor (HP, Ricoh, Lexmark...)

Does anyone have any idea why they are not showing up even if they are present in the drivers list ?

Thanks

Thank you very much for your help!

May I ask more help please!
