Fax Server used to work well, then our E-mail was upgraded to use SSL authentication.
Now the FaxServer will not route faxes via E-mail, When I try to setup the E-mail I can see port but nothing about encryption and my routing through E-mail fails.How can I set this up correctly?
Is there an update to add this feature?
Thank You,

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate around 400 print queues with around 85 print drivers to a new server. The source server is Windows Server 2012 R2, i've tried migrating it both to Windows Server 2016 and 2012 R2 using PrintBRM, but I'm having the same issues on both platforms. It manages to migrate allt drivers and ports, but the queues fails. With PrintBRMGUI i get the following event
"Printbrm.exe (the Printer Migration Wizard or the command-line tool) failed to restore print queue PRINTERNAME. The restore process will continue, skipping this queue. Error: 0x8007007A."
If i run PrintBRM via CMD, these are the errors that shows up in the command prompt
"PRINTERNAME Error: 0x8007007a
The data area passed to a system call is too small."
"PRINTERNAME Error: 0x800703eb
Cannot complete this function."
None of the errors really give me anything to look into, I've tried searching for in online but haven't had any luck. Has anybody else dealt with this?
Our spooler service keeps crashing. Its almost always the same error. We have probably 200 HP and Konica Printers on it. I know someone will say update the driver but the driver for which one the error has Faulting module path:C:\Windows\System32\hpmlm225.dll So its probably one of the HP ones but when I expand drivers and follow the paths none show hpmlm225.dll so I don't know which one it might be. Is there any way to tell?
Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.3.9600.19402, time stamp: 0x5d1178bbJason
Hello,
I would have a question to the sizing of the Print Server for Branch Office Direct Printing (BODP). I am about to deploy one Print Server with cca 1400 print queues which will be shared with cca 20 000 users (all Windows 10). All print queues will be configured
to use BODP.
I understand technical background of the BODP and it is obvious that it removes the load from the Print Server (no job parsing, no job data will flow through the server).
My concern is about initial distribution of the queues and printer port sync connections when the queues are distributed. At the beginning there will be a login script which will automatically add specific print queue to all users (secure print through print management solution). Users will also have possibility to add queues for specific devices using self service app.
The plan is to use 4-core 16 GB RAM server with Windows Server 2016 for the Print Server. Since the adding of the queues is mainly up to he users I cannot really do the roll-out in batches and measure performance of the servers
The question is if it will be enough to handle queues with BODP for all those users. Do you have any experience with such setup? Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance.
I have all our network printers setup on a Print Server. My users RDP into 2 different Terminal Servers. Until today, I have had no issues printing. I can manually add any of my network printers to my other servers with no issues but on my 2 Terminal Servers, I get errors.
trying to add printer to print server, can ping and see the printer from the server however when i attempt to add it via the usual method of adding by IP it spins detecting TCP/IP port for 30 seconds and suggests cannot see printer and the device is not found on the network
Printer is installed locally on PC's onsite but need to install on server offsite. i have 20 other printers installed all ok on this server.
as mentioned i can ping the printer from the server and know it's online
any ideas?
Hi
When I look into Print Management, I have some printers offline. I can print direct to the IP-address, and can acces the web-console of the printer. When I reboot the spooler it's ready and goes immediately offline again.
any suggestions
I am trying to migrate print queues from a Windows server 2008 R2 print server to a Windows server 2012 R2 print server. I've followed all the technet articles on how to do this and I get all the drivers, all the ports, forms and most of the printers. The source print server has just over 1000 printers, the destination only ends up with about 680. The error logged in the event viewer for the printers that have failed to migrate properly is:
Event 81, PrintBRM:
Printbrm.exe (the Printer Migration Wizard or the command-line tool) failed to restore print queuepirntername. The restore process will continue, skipping this queue. Error: 0x800706BA.
I've checked to ensure the account I'm using for the export/import does have full rights for all printers print management, is both local and domain admin. I can't seem to find any pertinent information on this problem. Many articles outlining issues relating to cross architecture migrations, x86 to x64, etc, but none of these seem to apply to my setup. I've tried the export/import several times, and the export list seems to include ALL the printers (including the one that don't end up on the destination print server).
Can someone PLEASE shed some light on this problem, I need to get this 2012/Win8 print server up and running very soon!!
Hi,
(Forgive me if this question has already been asked, but I can't seem to find a solution)
We are using a HP Pagewide Pro 477dw printer to scan to a network shared folder on Windows Server 2016.
The printer itself works great scanning on USB to the local host and (when networked) works great scanning to other network shared folders on a Windows Server 2008 and 2012.
When comes to the 2016 server that is when we see the error.
The printer will scan a document around 1.5 MB fine, but you will have to wait 5-10 minutes to scan again. If you try to scan right after, then you will get a general error and the printer freezes.
SMBv1 is enabled. SMBv2 protocols are enabled. I've tried to disabled SMBv2 protocols to force an SMBv1 connection. Result of that is that the shared folder became inaccessible. Enabled SBMv2 protocols and disabled SMBv1 protocols. Result of that is scanning capability got worse.
As of right now, both SMBv1 and SMBv2 protocols are enabled on the server.
To ensure that the least amount of data wasted in transmission is being used, I've reduced the scanning to black/gray scale only and dropped the dpi to 150 (still readable)
The HP scan to Network Folder path is \\ip address\folder\sub-folder\ due to the \\hostname\folder\sub-folder failed to provide a connection.
Credentials shouldn't be a problem since we have other scanners at different locations scanning to their respective folders in the same folder as this location on the 2016 server.
Tried adjusting the SMB protocols that the printers used to match the 2016 server and results are still the same.
I am wanting to know if there was something that I haven't tried yet that you'll may have come across with the same issue that I haven't seen and suggest that I try.
Thank you,

I recently updated to server 2016 and setup the fax server role. When I deployed the fax server the incoming faxes are stored in a folder as a .tif file. In the previous fax server 2008 the income faxes where saved as a .pdf file.
How can I change the format of the incoming faxes from .tif to .pdf file format?
I am using a US robotic internal fax modem.
Hi guys,

Hi there,
We have issues rolling out Hybrid Cloud Print.
It gives a dependencylock error, when installing it through NuGet.
I tried downloading the DLL's myself, but still it would error out with a MSVC100.dll error.
Also, the official documentation refers to settings in the legacy Enterprise App experience, which is deprecated since this month.
On Reddit there are several people complaining about these issues, so it doesn't seem like an individual issue:
Please mark answer as proposed answer if my solution works for you.
Print Server - Windows 2012 r2
Client - Windows 10 64bit
Issue: Client shows network printer to be offline but print server shows printer to be online and available.
Troubleshooting: Restart of spooler service corrects the issue for client, but it re-occurs at random (sometimes weeks in between events).
Nothing reported in the event logs referencing the spooler service.
Both server and client are patched up to date with standard security and OS patches.
Hello Community,
I am trying to set up Windows Fax and Scan using a fax server. I have the fax server set up on a Windows 2012 R Server and I have Windows Fax and Scan running on a Windows 7 computer. The fax account is set up to the fax server and it says connected. I can see that it is connected because I have WFS running on the server also and can send and receive faxes from there. The problem is on the Windows 7 computer when I try to create a New Fax, I click the "New Fax" button and immedately get a dialog that says: There was an error opening this message. An error has occurred. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

How do I change Windows 10 apps like Edge and Photos, so that the default "Color mode" is "Color" instead of "Monochrome"?
We have a Windows Server 2016 with the print server role installed. We have about 40 printers installed on that server. Randomly users will print a PDF to the server and it will hang at "Printing" in the print queue. It will never print and will not allow any additional prints to process. They are Konica Minolta printers. We tried updating the print drivers but that didn't seem to help.
Every time the printer hangs we have to stop the Print Spooler service, go into C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS\ and delete the "stuck" SPL file.
This is a good workaround, but I would like to find a fix to this issue.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Any suggestions on fixing these errors?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
On Windows Server 2016, I launched a fax server. My server have two Fax modems and two phone number. Each modem connected to a separate line.
Sometimes, server can't receive the faxes properly. For example, I send 10 faxes, but the server just receive 8 of them.
Any idea to solve it?
Thank you.
Dear All,
We have several shared printers on our windows server 2012R2. It was working fine so far but recently since last few weeks all of a sudden, all printers appear offline on the user's computers. We have windows 7/8/8.1 and 10. All the printers show offline on all the computers (200+).
Tried installing all the available updates on the server but the issue still persisted.
On some users computers, we installed the printers manually and some were installed with Group policy. The problem affects all the users and all the printers. We are using Ricoh Universal print driver, HP Plotter driver and Xerox model specific driver.
The only solution so far is to restart the spooler service on the server, after which all the printers appear online.
Right now a windows task scheduler has been created to restart the service every 30 mins but the issue is still sometimes encountered just after 10 minutes of service restart. Attaching the installed updated on the server.
Requesting assistance if anyone has encountered anything similar.
By the way all the available windows updates have been installed on the server but the issue still persists.
@Alan Morris - I read your answer about the security tokens for a question (link below) but how do we fix such a problem. We are using Equitrac. Does that affect Windows Print spooler in any way ?
Server 2012 R2 with shared printers, print management role installed.
Recently started where computers hang on the installing printer screen when trying to install a shared printer from the directory.
When canceling it, I get a 0x8000ffff Catastrophic error.
Thanks
