Unable to Print after installing 2021-09 Cumulative Update (KB5005573)
Anyone else having user print issues after installing this update on a Windows Server 2016 Standard? We can send jobs to the spooler just fine from the server itself, but a user submitted job is just...
GeekNaHalf patching caused quite the commotion for me this morning. I ended up rolling back KB5005573 and restarted the print servers. It would appear that this has been long in the process according to this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/managing-deployment-of-printer-rpc-binding-changes-for-cve-2021-1678-kb4599464-12a69652-30b9-3d61-d9f7-7201623a8b25
Unfortunately with everyone and anyone making noise about the issue... I did not feel I had enough time to research the root cause. That article would have been nice to be made aware of prior to patching this last weekend.
I am currently in the testing phase on that article to see if it works or not. I suspect it will work, but I'm not sure why Microsoft doesn't just address the problem rather than disable a feature that everyone seems to use.
A potential workaround though I have not tested yet: https://borncity.com/win/2021/09/20/windows-september-2021-update-workaround-fr-druckprobleme/
