Hello,
Having a strange issue where my print server has recently stopped showing the printers in the Print Manager.
If I connect print manager to another print server, I don't see any printers on the other server either. Can see all the ports, drivers, forms and from what I have read those three items render back to Print Manager differently than printers themselves.
restarting the spooler has no impact, server reboot doesn't affect it either.
no firewall enabled.
I can access the shared printers on the server, and click view remote printers to get that special printer share path on the server just fine.
I can view and manage the printers from another client using Print Manager and see everything.
have flushed DNS and tried again with no success.
tried adding print server via FQDN, IP and same result.
On the plus side, so far no interruption in print service to users as it appears to just be cosmetic management issue which is super frustrating.
Server is fully patched.
Any ideas?
