All Windows 11 22H2 print jobs automatically pausing
My company has been upgrading devices from Windows 10 to the latest Windows 11 22H2 build and in doing so, we've ran into a weird issue. All printers, whether locally added or Print to PDF, sends all print jobs to the queue as paused and they won't print without manually resuming. We've opened a ticket with Microsoft and the support rep has hit a dead end just like me. The only printers that seems to work just fine are printers from our Printer Server. Everything else manually added via IP using the correct drivers and Print to PDF automatically pauses. The obvious solution would be to add all of the printers to the print server but the other problem is that this also effects USB printers. We use a variety of printer models so the issue isn't manufacturer specific. We've tried to re-add printers with correct drivers, compare GPO between Win 10 / 11, make sure it's not a WSD port, tried different models with different printers, tried RPC registry fixes and GPO fixes... Has anyone else ran into? If so, do you have a fix?Removal of temporary mitigation in Windows updates for printing and scanning devices
A quick reminder that as of August 9, 2022, the security Windows updates removes all temporary mitigation released to all Windows updates between July 27, 2021 and July 26, 2022 for smart card authenticating printers, scanners, and multifunction devices that don’t support either: Diffie-Hellman (DH) for key exchange during PKINIT Kerberos authentication, Or, don’t advertise support for des-ede3-cbc ("triple DES”) during the Kerberos AS request Without this mitigation, smart card authentication (PIV) might fail on non-compliant devices and cause print and scan failures. Firmware on Smartcard-authenticating printers and scanners must be compatible with section 3.2.1 of the RFC 4556 specification required for CVE-2021-33764 prior to installing Windows updates released on August 9, 2022 or later on Active Directory domain controllers. Go to KB5005408: Smart card authentication might cause print and scan failures for more information.
