Windows Server 2008 R2 print server permissions

September 15, 2011, 9:04 am

I am working on delegating print server management functions to our Helpdesk\Printer group to allow them to manage all aspects of the print server without being local admins.

Now I will try to make this short and to the point, I have been working on this for some time now and have it as close as I am going to be able to get I have it all scripted so it can be run against several machines at once as we have over a hundred to roll these changes to eventually.

The one thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to set the “Print Server Properties” using a command, I want to add the appropriate groups to the security tab that way when new printers are added it will pick up the security settings when its installed. Not to be confused I am not talking about the security settings for individual printers I already have that scripted to change security settings on the existing printers using the setprinter.exe command.

This is the only thing left holding me up, I need to be able to automate this I am hoping it will be an easy solution that I have simply overlooked. Thanks

GPO for Print Server Security settings?

Hi forum,

I am setting up a specific OU for print servers and have a GPO assigned to this.

As we need to apply certain roles to some AD groups we have a need to reflect this to the Print Server Security settings so it gets reflected to the print queues.

Has anyone found a way to have a GPO to alter the Security settings under the Print Server porperties?

Thanks,
David

Deployed printers deleted, but stay on session

Hi,

I have an infrastructure like that : 

- 2 AD
- 1 File server
- 1 print server
- 1 RDP server

I deployed printers on RDP sessions with print manager, with a gpo on RDP server. This solution was too slow to come at login and default printer didn't stay after logoff. I decided to stop the deployement via printer manager and install with a script (call \\printserver\printerName )

On almost all RDP sessions, the deployed printers stay in Devices and printers and I can't delete them, they come back after 10-20 seconds. I tried with admin and user account.

Some printers are good, and I can print, others not at all. Sometimes, if I print on printer1, it prints on printer2. That is not on all sessions. TCP ports are OK on printserver.

Is it possible to force delete the deployed printers?

I already tried gpupdate, gpupdate /force, reboot of all server, disconnect users.

Obviously, there is no printers deployed in printer manager.

Thank you for answer and sorry for bad English, regards!

Migrating Print services from 2008 to 2012 Server

A general question...

I have a 2008 server running print services, this one is called Print. I've created another server running 2012 R2 called PrintTemp and have imported all of Print's printers and plotters. I'd like to simply shutdown Print, rename PrintTemp to Print. Would this work correctly, and if not are there any other steps I need to ensure the migration is sucessful.

Windows Server 2008 R2 print server permissions

July 1, 2015, 11:42 am

Hello,

Currently there are two other threads about this issue, both with the same name as this. I was wondering if I could get the setprinter.exe tool that is mentioned by Alan Morris in each of those threads.

I believe my problem is exactly the same, in that I want a tool that will automate the process of me going into each print server's security tab and adding a group I want with specific permissions there so that when new print queues are added on that server, their security tab inherits the group permissions that I have set in the server's tab. The setprint.exe tool should do exactly this, right?

I already have a way of adding a specific group to each print queue on every server already, that is not the issue. i am specifically asking for a way to automating the process of adding the group to the print server itself. There are many print servers, and it would be a waste of valuable company time if I had to go in and do this manually for each server.

My email is jcgeer@hormel.com, and I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

Also, if it would be possible to either send along any documentation for that tool and how to use it for the desired task I wish to implement, or an guide that you could also point me to, that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance!

I have an application written in VBA in Microsoft Access that faxes a set of pdf documents passed to a calling function as a table. This has worked for years. It uses fxscomex.dll. With our upgrade to Windows Server 2012 the code now fails. There is no error message. It simply does not send the fax and the outboxLog.txt is empty. What is happening here ?

I currently have our network printers shared out, via a group policy, from our printer server.  However, users are unable to select the printer options to make changes, such as Tray 1 or Tray 2.  Does anyone have an answer/link as to what is preventing users from selecting the printer options.

Print Server config 2012R2

I have a functioning 2012 r2 RDS farm with 3 servers.

I added a 2012 r2 print server and used GPO to configure it as a print server.  I then created a gpo that i would use to push the printers down to the rds servers (in print manager, deployed to computer policy...)

I also setup each printer on the print server using the v.4 class drivers built in as each model printer i have is represented.

rebooted each of the rds servers and got my new network tcpip printers.

Problem: the correct printer drivers did not get pushed to the printers on the rds server

In other words when i look on the print server at "Xerox 7855 Mail Room" i see the 7800 series class driver i selected.  On rds i see "Xerox 7855 Mail Room" but the driver is the HP Color Laserjet A4/Letter PCL6 class driver

Did i miss a config that should PUSH the correct driver?

RDS 2012 R2 & Print Server (2012 R2)

June 25, 2015, 4:09 am

Hi All,

I've got a huge issue... Whoever can solve this is a genius!

Our environment :

2 x RDS Farms

 - RDS1a (Server 2012 R2)

 - RDS1b (Server 2012 R2)

 - RDS2a (Server 2012 R2)

 - RDS2b (Server 2012 R2)

2 x File Server

 - FSR1a (Server 2012 R2) - Stored Users Work Data

 - FSR1b (Server 2012 R2) - User Profile Disks are stored here

1 x Print Server (Server 2012 R2)

Scenario :

Our printers are being deployed via GPO to map all printers from the Print Server to the RDS servers (depending on the users OU - they get certain printers etc). We have decom'd an old print server and moved to a new one (we have stopped GPO from deploying using the old print server etc) however our old printers (from the old print server) still maps to all the RDS users, even if we delete the printer (right click remove) it reappears as if GPO is still lingering around (but its not).

This also causes issues whereby we cannot set a the new printers to default and the only way is to remove it and manually map it by going to : START > RUN\\PRINTSERVER and manually map the printer which works for a while until the user logs off for the day (next day, same issue).

Question :

1. How do I stop the old printers from mapping and clean them off the system once and for all?

2. Permanently set default printer (which must display the green tick) - if there is no green tick then we cannot print PDF docs)

Server2012R2 - Printer settings don't apply to all users

Hi Everyone,

Our company is in the process of migrating off all 2003 server due to EOL support. Now i have deployed a new file/print server at one of the clients with Windows Server 2012R2.

I have setup their printers with all the needed customizations in place and deployed them via a GP Preference. However, the custom settings that I have setup on the printers aren't being taken over on the client computer. It just jumps back to the default settings. Also, when another administrator of our team logs on to the same server and goes into print manager to check the printer settings, they see the default settings of the printer and not how i have set them up. 

I've tried several things like first setting up the settings before sharing. And also tried setting up with the built-in admin account but the same thing happens.

I'm getting clueless on what can be the cause of this so i'm hoping one of you geniuses can help me out here ?

Many thanks in advance all the help i can get is much appreciated !

Currently we are planning to migrate the all the print queues from one print server (A) to another Print server (B). these are domain members and both are Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Sp1.

Print Queues:

All these Print queues are Listed in AD, user used to connect them by browsing the Active directory.

Now, we are migrating the all the print queues with to another Print server name (B). But don’t want any action end user.

The below propose action will help in this case or not.

By creating the cname record (A) to pointing older server name to new server (B) will fix the issue.

Thanks and Regards,

 Ravi Ch.

Spooler Service Hangs on Sever 2008 R2 When Connecting to 400+ Printers

June 9, 2015, 3:18 pm

Hello, 

We have a strange setup where a number of our servers are setup to run queries against a database and print the reports. Each server has just over 400 printer connections. When refreshing devices and printer, cycling the spooler, or rebooting the machine devices and printers seems to go blank and hang. The spooler server hangs, and can't be stopped; it crashes with a timeout error. Explorer also eventually crashes.

The print drivers are all set to isolation mode, and bidirectional is off. 

I've connected them using con2prt.exe scripts, and \\printserver\share connect.  I've set all print processors except 1 xerox printer to WINPRINT. I've ran through the instructions on countless forums.

It seems to be related to the fact that they are all connected through shares, as exporting the printers from the print server and importing them to the Background Job servers works without any issue. There are 30 of these background servers that we run in prod though, and management of printer changes would be a nightmare. It also seems to be freaking out after about 100-150 printers have been connected. If I cut the NIC and refresh shell:printersfolder, it shows all of the printers attempting to "initialize" at the same time. The amount of handles open spikes each time I refresh devices and printers, when all printers are connected there are about 7,000 handles open.

Am I doing something to cause this by turning on driver isolation for all of the printers? Is there some ominous limit I'm reaching in number of terminal services, or printer shares? Please help I've been troubleshooting this for 2 weeks and am losing my mind. 

Thank you!

Hi.
I'm running a windows server 2008, and trying to use the EasyPrint feature.
I have something like 50 clients that connect to the server.
When a client connects, his printer is recognized very well and i can see all of his printers redirected
in the Print dialog.
Everything looks fine, but when trying to print nothing come out to the local print spooler and the document, of course, isn't printed.

In he event log, I get the following error:

The document web+sms.xls, owned by ishay, failed to print on printer Xerox Phaser 3117 (redirected 3). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.

Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 112512. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 2. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\SATURN. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2147500037. Unspecified error


Please help me out here - It's really urgent.

Thanks in advance, Ishay.

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 64bit Print Server

In "Print Management" I right-click on my Brother MFC-8420DN printer and choose "Porperties".  Then under "Advanced" tab I used the "New Driver" button to install the latest 64bit driver for Windows 2012 R2 from brother.com (http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc8480dn_us&os=10002)

Adding the driver went fine without a hitch.  Now my new driver appears in the "Driver" list.  Currently it is using the driver "Brother Laser Leg Type1 Class Driver".

I change the driver to "Brother MFC-8480DN Printer."

Click "Apply".  Error window appears:

Printer settings could not be saved.
This operation is not supported.

Several folks in my department are having difficulties printing to a Server 2012 R2 print server. The server error log shows the typical '372' event ID. However, after browsing several other threads related to the 372 event ID, I've found nothing on the secific error that I'm getting:

The document xxxxxxx, owned byxxxxxxx, failed to print on printer xxxxxxx. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler. 
Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 93985. Number of bytes printed: 4. Total number of pages in the document: 0. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: xxxxxxx. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2152796175.

Can anyone shed more light on this error? Much appreciated.
