Hello and thanks for taking your time to look at this.
My problem is: So I recently made it possible to go into xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Printers and get the Connect button to show up.
Now it tells me when I click the connect button, that the Printer Name is invalid for some reason. I have been looking around for quite a while now but I cannot seem to find what I am looking for considering this problem :c
SO I am running IE 11 on a Windows server 2012 r2.
I hope someone can help me out with this! :)
Hello,
I have an application developed with Visual Studio 2015 that exposes web services and one of them takes care of print a label with a barcode through a Zebra printer.
This printer is connected in the local net and in my Windows 10 is installed properly. And I configured the size of the paper to be 10x10cm.
If I debug my code through VS2015 and I call my web service, the label is printed with the size I configured.
Now, the problem comes when I publish my application to IIS and I try to call the web service. The label is printed but with smaller size (I think this size comes by default in the printer). After some time researching, my deduction is that printer settings are stored linked to my windows user, but IIS is using another printer settings and I don't know why.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Joan
I have a client who uses microsoft's "Print-2-Image" printer driver. The driver resets it resolution to 200x200 each time the driver is invoked. The client has attempted to set the default resolution to 600x600 but it resets each time the driver is invoked. I tried, as a regional administrator, to set the driver to 600x600, but it doesn't carry over to the user account. Yes it was originally installed by an administrator.
Any suggestions on how to default the driver resolution to 600x600 and have it stick across all users on that shared system?
Thanks, Chris

Hello,
On Windows Server 2016, I launched a fax server. My server have two Fax modems and two phone number. Each modem connected to a separate line.
Sometimes, server can't receive the faxes properly. For example, I send 10 faxes, but the server just receive 8 of them.
Any idea to solve it?
Thank you.
If we try to add a shared network printer on Windows 10 LTSB 2016 clients using the classic control panel, the list shows many strange unwanted additional printer entries. For example their names containing the manufacturer, printer model and the share name separated by colons. In older windows versions the list only shows the share names of the published printers. Whats going on there in Windows 10 and how can we avoid this?
Windows 10: The printers in the first row are the correct share names of the printers, the other entries are unwanted duplicates of the shared printers listed with another name. By the way, it's sad that the addresses of the printers aren't listed there anymore in Windows 10.
In Windows Server 2012 R2 and also Windows 8.1 and 7 the list contains only the expected shared printers with their share name and no unwanted duplicates:
Hi everyone.
I work on a RESTful service in WCF (C#) to manage Print Queues remotely on multiple print servers (Windows Server 2012 R2 / 2016). I use WMI classes (Win32_Printer, Win32_PrinterConfiguration, Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort...etc) and System.Management/System.Printing namespaces to achieve that. All works flawlessly, I can create my shared/published print queues in AD, with corresponding port and driver as well, througha website dedicated for that.
But, some of these servers host thousands of printer queues, 7000+ for the biggest.
The code I'm using right now is :
public List<Queue> GetQueuesByServer(SearchModel model)
{
var queues = new List<Queue>();
var query = new ObjectQuery($"SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE {model.Attribute} like '%{model.Value}%'");
using (var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(managementScope, query))
{
var queuesCollection = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject m in queuesCollection)
{
var queue = new Queue();
if (m["Location"] != null)
{
queue.comment = m["Comment"]?.ToString();
queue.driverName = m["DriverName"]?.ToString();
queue.isDirect = (bool)m["Direct"];
queue.isPublished = (bool)m["Published"];
queue.isQueued = (bool)m["Queued"];
queue.isShared = (bool)m["Shared"];
queue.keepPrintedJobs = (bool)m["keepPrintedJobs"];
queue.isRawOnlyEnabled = (bool)m["RawOnly"];
queue.isBidiEnabled = (bool)m["EnableBIDI"];
queue.scheduleCompletedJobsFirst = (bool)m["DoCompleteFirst"];
queue.name = m["Name"]?.ToString();
queue.isBODPEnabled = GetBODPState(queue.name);
queue.portName = m["PortName"]?.ToString();
queue.portType = m["PrintJobDataType"]?.ToString();
queue.printProcessor = m["PrintProcessor"]?.ToString();
queue.location = m["Location"]?.ToString();
queue.shareName = m["ShareName"]?.ToString();
queue.server = model.Server;
queues.Add(queue);
}
}
return queues;
}
}Same logic to get printer ports.
This operation can take more than 900 seconds with the biggest centralized print server. With a "normal" printserver (~10/20 queues), it's instant. I tested with both my REST client and our dedicated website.
URL: https://print.api/QueueService.svc/GetQueuesByServer
{"Server":"SRV01","Attribute":"Location","Value":"/FRANCE/PARIS/SITE_XX/BUILDING_XX..."
}In this example, I want to retrieve all print queues only for a specific site in Paris. We never want to get all print queues hosted on a specific centralized print server, the location attribute is used as filter, based on site / building / floor.
I am hopping someone has a faster way to do that. Is there an obvious optimization ?
Best regards.
Hi All,
I have just upgrade one of our Print Servers due to Server Sunset. All went ok on the server side and I took advice on this Tech Forum to migrate the printers using the Wizard tool. All good and set-up without any issues.
The question I have is does anyone know how best to do the client side. We are having to link the clients to printers manually. Is there a tool that can be used to complete this task or will we have to do it manually for all the users?
Regards.
I have a windows 2008 r2 standard server that is running as a citrix session server and C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\TOSHIBA\eSTUDIOX\UNIDRV\Cache\* is taking up 10GB on the 100GB drive. From what I have been able to figure out so far is that this is for the Toshiba printer driver.
It seems crazy to me that it would take up this much space. There are folders within the Cache that are from 3 months back. Are these safe to delete? Is there a reason why it is taking up so much space and not clearing up?
Any help would be appreciated,

Fax Server used to work well, then our E-mail was upgraded to use SSL authentication.
Now the FaxServer will not route faxes via E-mail, When I try to setup the E-mail I can see port but nothing about encryption and my routing through E-mail fails.How can I set this up correctly?
Is there an update to add this feature?
Thank You,

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate around 400 print queues with around 85 print drivers to a new server. The source server is Windows Server 2012 R2, i've tried migrating it both to Windows Server 2016 and 2012 R2 using PrintBRM, but I'm having the same issues on both platforms. It manages to migrate all the drivers and ports, but the queues fails. With PrintBRMGUI i get the following event
"Printbrm.exe (the Printer Migration Wizard or the command-line tool) failed to restore print queue PRINTERNAME. The restore process will continue, skipping this queue. Error: 0x8007007A."
If i run PrintBRM via CMD, these are the errors that shows up in the command prompt
"PRINTERNAME Error: 0x8007007a
The data area passed to a system call is too small."
"PRINTERNAME Error: 0x800703eb
Cannot complete this function."
None of the errors really give me anything to look into, I've tried searching for in online but haven't had any luck. Has anybody else dealt with this?
Our spooler service keeps crashing. Its almost always the same error. We have probably 200 HP and Konica Printers on it. I know someone will say update the driver but the driver for which one the error has Faulting module path:C:\Windows\System32\hpmlm225.dll So its probably one of the HP ones but when I expand drivers and follow the paths none show hpmlm225.dll so I don't know which one it might be. Is there any way to tell?
Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.3.9600.19402, time stamp: 0x5d1178bbJason
Hello,
I would have a question to the sizing of the Print Server for Branch Office Direct Printing (BODP). I am about to deploy one Print Server with cca 1400 print queues which will be shared with cca 20 000 users (all Windows 10). All print queues will be configured
to use BODP.
I understand technical background of the BODP and it is obvious that it removes the load from the Print Server (no job parsing, no job data will flow through the server).
My concern is about initial distribution of the queues and printer port sync connections when the queues are distributed. At the beginning there will be a login script which will automatically add specific print queue to all users (secure print through print management solution). Users will also have possibility to add queues for specific devices using self service app.
The plan is to use 4-core 16 GB RAM server with Windows Server 2016 for the Print Server. Since the adding of the queues is mainly up to he users I cannot really do the roll-out in batches and measure performance of the servers
The question is if it will be enough to handle queues with BODP for all those users. Do you have any experience with such setup? Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance.
trying to add printer to print server, can ping and see the printer from the server however when i attempt to add it via the usual method of adding by IP it spins detecting TCP/IP port for 30 seconds and suggests cannot see printer and the device is not found on the network
Printer is installed locally on PC's onsite but need to install on server offsite. i have 20 other printers installed all ok on this server.
as mentioned i can ping the printer from the server and know it's online
any ideas?
Hi,
(Forgive me if this question has already been asked, but I can't seem to find a solution)
We are using a HP Pagewide Pro 477dw printer to scan to a network shared folder on Windows Server 2016.
The printer itself works great scanning on USB to the local host and (when networked) works great scanning to other network shared folders on a Windows Server 2008 and 2012.
When comes to the 2016 server that is when we see the error.
The printer will scan a document around 1.5 MB fine, but you will have to wait 5-10 minutes to scan again. If you try to scan right after, then you will get a general error and the printer freezes.
SMBv1 is enabled. SMBv2 protocols are enabled. I've tried to disabled SMBv2 protocols to force an SMBv1 connection. Result of that is that the shared folder became inaccessible. Enabled SBMv2 protocols and disabled SMBv1 protocols. Result of that is scanning capability got worse.
As of right now, both SMBv1 and SMBv2 protocols are enabled on the server.
To ensure that the least amount of data wasted in transmission is being used, I've reduced the scanning to black/gray scale only and dropped the dpi to 150 (still readable)
The HP scan to Network Folder path is \\ip address\folder\sub-folder\ due to the \\hostname\folder\sub-folder failed to provide a connection.
Credentials shouldn't be a problem since we have other scanners at different locations scanning to their respective folders in the same folder as this location on the 2016 server.
Tried adjusting the SMB protocols that the printers used to match the 2016 server and results are still the same.
I am wanting to know if there was something that I haven't tried yet that you'll may have come across with the same issue that I haven't seen and suggest that I try.
Thank you,

I recently updated to server 2016 and setup the fax server role. When I deployed the fax server the incoming faxes are stored in a folder as a .tif file. In the previous fax server 2008 the income faxes where saved as a .pdf file.
How can I change the format of the incoming faxes from .tif to .pdf file format?
I am using a US robotic internal fax modem.
Hi guys,
