Printer Driver Error During Install
I have a Print Server running Windows Server 2016 where I have all my network printers installed. I have a Dell B1260dn, which works fine on the Print Server and my local PC. I have 2 Terminal Servers running Windows Server 2016 on the same network. When trying to add/map this Dell printer, I get the same error on both Terminal Servers. I have tried to clear from Registry but still did not work. Here is the error. Thank you for your help!
Printer drivers for Windows Server 2019
Hi, I am trying to install HP printer drivers on Windows Server 2019 (2 different office jet models), but they all say that they are not compatible with this Windows version (the setup is detecting Windows 10 64-bit as the OS). Any idea? Does it mean I can't use these printers with Windows 2019? Thanks.
Group Policy object did not apply because failed error code:0x80070709 The printer name is invalid
Hi Everyone, I have a few AVD pools where we publish an app for users to access. Users report that printers are not being mapped after login. We use GPP user side to map printers and set as default. Many a times we see these events logged: VALUE>The printer name is invalid.</VALUE></PROPERTY>-</INSTANCE> Event ID 4098 is logged in the Application Log: Log Name: Application Source: Group Policy Printers Date: <DateTime> Event ID: 4098 Task Category: (2) Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: SYSTEM Computer: server.fabrikam.com Description: The user 'HP Printer' preference item in the 'Define Printers {XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070709 The printer name is invalid.' This error was suppressed. For this one I found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/group-policy-printer-preferences-not-set-default-printer#resolution which is really not helpful since there is no possible solution as the client is a AVD VM and used by many users at the same time. VALUE> No printers were found.'

This error was suppressed. No KB's or posts out there to help with these 2 errors. Really need assistance and printers are not being mapped on first logon, users need to come out of AVD and go back and relaunch the app to see the printers mapped. This is the same case with our internal app or Notepad. Thanks, M
Microsoft's PrintNightmare update is causing a lot of problems with network printers
Dears, the latest Windows updates is causing a lot of problems with network printers mapped on a print server. Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5005652-manage-new-point-and-print-default-driver-installation-behavior-cve-2021-34481-873642bf-2634-49c5-a23b-6d8e9a302872 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/managing-deployment-of-printer-rpc-binding-changes-for-cve-2021-1678-kb4599464-12a69652-30b9-3d61-d9f7-7201623a8b25 The two recent patches (KB5004945, KB5004760, or KB5003690) causes these two main problems: 1) unable for users without administrative rights to install new print drivers. The end user receive this error 2) unable to use the print server with the new registry key RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled **The system logs reports this error: 0x0000011b** The two workarounds that you have to apply to survive and allow corporate users to be able to use the print server are: 1) Even if you have a GPO with "Point and Print Restrictions=disabled", you have to apply this registry key to allow non administrative users to install the latest print drivers from the print server HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators = 0 2) Apply this registry key to disable the new default settings related to the print spooler vulnerabilities HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled = 0 The above workarounds are only a temporary solution to survive and allow users to print. What is unclear to me is what should be the right way to manage these settings in a corporate environment without any end user interaction. So, if I want to be protected and apply the recent security fixes without asking the end users to do something, what should I do? Microsoft states that you need to set "RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled" to "1" on both Client and Print Server in order to be protected, but if you do this, you can't print. So, what should we do in a Corporate environment to be secure and print without any end user interaction about "driver installation" etc.? Thanks in advance
