Hi all,
I want to setup a print server. Some home users use there own printer at home. And I also want that these printers are provisioned by the printer.
How do I arrange that?

Windows 7 and Server 2003 printer server issues
We are just beginning to roll out Windows 7 and are having a couple of issues getting network printers working right.
Power users are unable to add a printer as it fails when installing the driver from the print server with Access Denied. I can log in as an admin, add the printer then they can add it just fine. This would be ok as we only have 4 models so I could as an admin just add all four printer types so the drivers get loaded. I could also inject them during the OS deployment phase for new computers.
However, while this works ok when a Power users adds a printer from the same print server, when they try to add the same model printer with same driver from another print server, it comes up with the "install driver" dialog again so it fails with "Access Denied"
Either making it so a user can install print drivers, or figuring out why Win 7 makes you install the driver again when using a different print server is eluding me.
We are using all Server 2003 R2 server for print servers and the drivers are for XP & Vista. So far no Win 7 specific drivers are out for our printers but the driver seems to work fine once installed. Also, UAC is turned off.
Any ideas on what to do?

Print Server Migration
Hello, I'm attempting to take an existing Windows7 print server and export it to a file via the print management console for migration to a 2008R2 server. When I attempt to export the printers I get an error message "The print server specified could
not be found. Please check the name and try again" I have attempted this both on my local computer and on the windows 7 machine itself with the same result. I thought this might have been a firewall issues so I turned it of with the same result.
Is there possibly a service I need running that may not be turned on?

Windows 7 client "Fax Server" connection to Windows 2008 Server Problem
Cannot connect to Windows Fax Server when running on the server Windows Server 2008 R2. I have done everything I know.
1)Installed Fax Server Role successfully on the 2008 Server
2)Went to the Control Panel and "Shared" the Fax printer so that all clients should be able to see it on the network
3)Went into Fax Service Manager and setup ALL the options in the "Properties" folder to allow the security and even had the Automatically create client button checked so that when you log on it should create the client automatically.
When I go on a client machine, and try to set up the Account Options in the Windows Fax & Scan program, I get the following message when I type my Server name into the space: ie "\\OfficeServer
The message is the following: The mentioned fax server is not available. Please correct the server name and try again.
I know that the server name is correct and I have tried adding a user to the group and manually assigning a client rather than have Windows automatically capture it when they log on.
Need Help BAD! This should be sooooo easy to do, yet Windows has made this a nightmare just by reading the articles on this Forum. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Server 2012 and printing through remote desktop
I posted this problem recently and cant receive any answers it seems. I am running a recently installed server 2012 standard edition, and can access it from my laptop running windows 8 or my desktop running windows 7. All of my drives show up as available
from my local machine onto the server when I remote in to it, but my printer, a Canon Pixma mp280 connected with a usb cable, does not show up. I have tried installing drivers on my local machine and the remote server and searched for help on every single
forum or webpage on the internet that I can find. I cant find an answer or anyone to offer any help. I cant use any of the information regarding server 2008 because they are both set up so differently. Microsoft wants me to pay $250 for help with my issue
and I don't think that's worth paying that much for. All I need to do is print a document at my home from the server at work. Can someone help me?

Network printers not printing in windows 7
We have Windows 2008 servers that deploy various HP models via GPO across our network. Every other day people login go to print and find that the default network printer is not showing in the devices or printers and we have to manually add it again until the next time. We have tried deploying our printers via scripts but the same happens we cannot seem to find a permenant fix for this.

Printer not found on server, Unable to connect. Server 2008 while printing.
Hello,
Since a few weeks we are encountering errors while printing on a 32 bit Citrix terminal server running Server 2008. The printers are all installed and shared on a different Server 2008 x64 print server and are distributed at user logon by group policy to the terminal server.
From one of the Citrix servers users are sometimes getting errors "the current printer is unavailable select another printer" mostly in Office applications like Excel 2007 and Outlook 2007. When this problem occurs in the control panel some of the printers are showing "Printer not found on server, Unable to connect". Whenever the user logs out his session and logs in again the errors are gone and printing works again. Also restarting the printspooler on the server resolves the problem (untill the next time it occurs which can be a few hours,days or even weeks).
Currently we are having this issue on only 1 of our Citrix servers and the other servers also connected to the same print server are not having this issue so to problem seems to be locally on this specific server. I've searched the internet looking for hotfixes for server 2008 print spooler problems but the hotfixes i found do not describe our problem.
Is there any one familiar with this problem?
Regards,
Dave

Print Service Keeps Crashing
The server is Windows Server 2008R2 and is a terminal server. I do not have any HP drivers on this server. I have updated all of the drivers for the printers that are installed. (Dell & Lexmark) I get a request from the user (1 of
3) to restart the spooler because none of the installed printers are available until the service is restarted. There is nothing in the event viewer that indicates an error. I have also removed her profile and started with a fresh one. The crashing
persists. This all started approximately 2 months ago and I can't seem to determine what the cause is.

Server 2008 r2 -64bit not asking to add 32 bit drivers after 64 bit drivers were upgraded for Kyocera MFD's
Hi All, I have got a 2008r2-64 bit server. Recently I did upgrade the kyocera TA3050ci/4550ci series printer driver from the printer properties > advanced>new driver and pointed to the 64 bit driver files - upgraded version but the server never asked
to point to the new 32 bit drivers. The situation is now the Kyocera printers have new driver version for 64 bit but older version for 32 bit and the 32 bit clients are having a pop up that ' printer is not installed on their system -blah blah'. Even after
deleting print queue and redoing the steps it still remembers the 64 bit newer version and 32 bit older version. For altogether a new install with new IP port everything is fine but the problem is with the existing fleet. Please advise suggestions/ solutions.

Delete Printer Connections using PrintUI gives error Unable to delete the per machine printer connection. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000071a)
I'm attempting to use the PrintUI DLL (printui.exe) to add and delete per-machine printer connections shared by a domain member print server to/from domain client computers. But I randomly (25% of the time) get the error "Unable to delete the per machine
printer connection. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000071a)." Code 0x0000071a may mean "The remote procedure call was cancelled" (RPC_S_CALL_CANCELLED). However it means nothing to me and I do not understand why the RPC would
fail on some attempts, but work on subsequent attempts.
- Print server is Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with the latest recommended hotfixes.
- Clients are Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7 SP2 with the latest recommended hotfixes.
Seemingly very inexplicably and randomly our support stafff get these errors when they run the script to add or remove printers. It does not matter which printer server or printer share (I have multiple print servers and printers).
I am adding and deleting the connections in a command script using these commands:
Add: RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\%1 /n%2 /Gw >> %3
Delete: RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL PrintUIEntry /gd /c\\%1 /n%2 /Gw >> %3
I have tried adding print spooler restarts before or after the PRINTUI commands, but this does not seem to help. In fact, if I add the spooler restart it seems like I increase the failure rate on Windows 7 clients and decrease the failure rate on Windows XP clients.
I have even tried to circumvent the problem by deliberately attempting to add or delete an invalidly named printer share ("\\DoesNotExist\IgnoreError") but this throws a pop-up error message which must be clicked "OK" to bypass. That error message is "Unable to add the per machine printer connection. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." Which is an incorrect error and has nothing to do with an incorrectly named print server share in the add or delete commands of PRINTUI.

Access Denied, Unable to connect (XP client to 2008 R2 Server)
Hey all, I've run into an issue in our environment that's been driving me crazy. Basically, XP SP3 machines are connecting to my new Windows 2008 R2 server and are randomly receiving "Access Denied, Unable to connect." errors. To make matters
even worse, it seems to happen with random queues on the server, and not everyone experiences this (maybe 1 out of 10 people). For example, the user can connect to 1 out of the 5 print queues successfully. Furthermore, and this may not matter, but the print
queue than has problems usually has no server or the FQDN in the Printer/Faxes view. Any ideas or direction would be appreciated!

Server 2008 R2 to Server 2008 R2 Printer Migration Failure
Hi Everyone,
I have been running test to backup my Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Print Server. I have been using the printer migration tool that exports all of the printers, ports, and drivers. This feature has been working correctly. The issue that I am running into is trying to import them back into a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Print Server. I get the following message "Windows could not read printer data from the import file. Please check that the file contains printer data". I have tried this will a .cab file extension, and the default Printer Migration File extension. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Jobs printed. Log owner as workstation instead of username
Hi,
I have a Server 2008 R2 print server, serving a mixture of clients 7,XP (32&64). We have Papercut (print logging) software installed on the server.
We are seeing intermittent jobs on Print Queues logged as workstation name instead of username, it is on random jobs i.e. Word, PDF, Internet Explorer and random clients. Unable to find a common link as to why it happens
See Papercut kb - www.papercut.com/kb/Main/JobsOwnedByComputer
We have denied computers object as well as individual workstations on the Print Queue but it still allows computers to print. It seems like a bug in Windows that this is still allowed to occur.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Ross
