Printer registration error
Hi all,
the universal print connector fails to register a printer every time. In found this error in the event log:

I've already checked the prerequisites:
- License is assigned to me
- Universal print is enabled in my tenant
- I am global admin
- Were using Windows Server 2016 for the connector
- .NET is up to date
Has somebody an idea what I can do to fix this problem?

bandelj The error appears to be related to TLS 1.2. The Connector uses that as our Universal Print service requires it. It might be that the TLS 1.2 needs to be configured on this Windows Server. A few things to check, and then instructions on how to enable/verify this:
1. Is the operating system updated (as far as security patches go)?
2. Have you explicitly disabled TLS 1.2 on the server? If no, below might help
To enable TLS 1.2:
- Set the following registry keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001 - Restart the server.
