Any idea why Excel 2016 would print b&w on a color printer? Is that a default setting? All Windows Apps do it too, by the way (Photos, Edge...)

Upgrade Print Server
Hi All,
I am in the middle to creating a plan to upgrade our print server from W2008 to W2012 or W2016. This is due to W2008 Server sunset.
I am unsure how to approach this whole process. Its the first time I have ever migrated a print server that has in excess of 100 print queues.
My thoughts are
1. Install server 2012 or 2016 as an in place upgrade. Basically upgrade the current Operating system and leave everything else intact.
2. Create a new Server. Copy the print queues over to the new server and test.
Are there any other ways that could be considered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

viewing client printer connections print server
Is there any way to show what client machines are connected on a windows 2012 print server?
In other words which windows 7 machines are currently using a network printer shared off of the print server? Something like in computer management where you get to see open files on server.

No printers installed on win10
Hi we have an issue where some users are not seeing any printers listed when they try to print from any applications, not just office.
When we add a printer we get a message saying default printer cannot be set when click finish on add printer wizard.
The print spooler is running, restart doesn't help. Deleting the printer and removing all drivers and packages doesn't.
I have enabled LPR monitor in print and document features. I have created a single test printer on anew print server and still get the same issue - no printers listed.
You can add a printer through add printer in Office but you still don't see it listed.
Some users who reboot fixes the issues where others it don't. The print services are configured to MS best practices.I also noticed that if you go device and printers through control panel and select a printer you do not see any options for printing such as print properties, preferences etc.
I have no idea what else it could be, has anyone come across this before?

Windows LPD Service on Windows Server 2016 & Local/AD Printer Security Problem
Is there a way to apply user/group security permissions to a printer/queue for LPD print jobs coming into a Windows Server?
Security permissions on a print queue don't appear to keep non-member users from sending print jobs via LPD server, only if we send print jobs with SMB (authentication). If I send a print job from i.e. Unix, using "lpr -P PrinterName filename.txt -U userdude", and user "userdude" doesn't exist as a local or AD user (or part of a local or AD group), the print job is still accepted by the Windows Server LPD Service and processed/printed.
Strange behavior: If I delete the "xyzmachine\Administrators" group from the server printer queue, the Windows LPD service will not accept any jobs via LPD for that printer queue. Add "xyzmachine\Administrators" back to the printer queue security permissions, and LPD jobs for all users are accepted again. So I can't whitelist specific local or AD users/groups for incoming Windows Server LPD jobs.
Has anyone found a way to deal with this issue? Or is that part of the reason the Windows Server LPD service is depreciated and just use SMB?
Thanks,
Pete
Info: Windows Server 2016, Print Server Installed, LPD Service installed, AD bound, printer queues configured.

Howto Remove-Printer with Device Status unknown
Hello,
Windows has man different views, and some things can be controlled from
powershell, other not.
Here's another annoying example. Sometimes you get "Unknown" Printers.
They are listed in the Settings->Device GUI view and can be seen on the PS
prompt with:
> Get-PnpDevice -Class "PrintQueue" -Status "Unknown" Status Class FriendlyName
Unknown PrintQueue \\prs\pFloor0
These printers cannot be removed from powershell, in user context.
If I use the GUI dialog (Settings->Devices) its possible, they disappear
on the powershell prompt they are still visible.
I had one server with ~100 of them.
The search term is "Ghost printer windows", but I havent found a way to get grid
of them from user context.
One solution was to use devcon.exe and a powershell wrapper to get rid of them,
this needs an UAC / Admin.
Maybe there is a better solution for this?
best regards,

Print Server Audits (How many prints done by individual per month)
I have been asked to devise a way to get information from my print server to tell how many print jobs per month a user is printing. I have already found posts regarding using a powershell script in order to pull event viewer info from Event ID's 307 and 805. However, they seem to be for the PowerShell advanced or Professional. I'm trying to not spend a whole lot of time on this, is there any way to get these audits just by using Event Viewer? Has anyone done this in the past?
Thank you,

Shared printers via USB on Print Management
Hi all,
We have a problem to add usb printer on printer management, used on rds application.
Scenario:
printer connected via usb: print1
computer on connect the printer: comp1
On comp1, we share the printer, with this name: \\comp1\print1
Now, we add on the printer server (server1) that contains printer management, this shared printer, with the name: shared1
If we add new local printer in the printer management, is posible to add the printer, and the test page work properly! \\server1\shared1
The problem: we want to use the printer on a RDS application. The printers that the application use, are mapped via GPO when the user connect to the terminal server of RDS. If we want to use the printer mapped \\server1\shared1 , the print fails with this error:
The document Print Document, owned by test.user, failed to print on printer shared1. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 1877812. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: terminalserver. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 122. The data area passed to a system call is too small.
There're some way to do this redirection or use on the RDS sessions a USB printer remotly?

Event 4005 Line Printer Daemon refuses jobs
Hello,
from a few weeks ago, we have some servers refusing jobs from Unix servers and event 4005 is logged
Event ID - 4005
The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service received a print job from %1 in an unsupported print format. This can occur if the printer driver on the client is configured to use a print data type that is unsupported by this printer.The document may not print correctly as a result
Other servers with same configuration and hotfixes do not have the issue
Does anyone have an idea about solving this issue, please ?
Best regards

Thin Clients Changing Printer On Their Own
Hello All,
I have an organization with about 15 dell thin clients around a warehouse. They pull Windows 10 from the server and all of their other resources. Whenever the thin clients power cycle every single one of them default to the same printer. An HP LaserJet. Most of the thin clients have their own printer next to them that we have set as individual default multiple times.
Why are these thin clients all defaulting to to the same printer even though we have set the individual default on each machine? None of the printers are set as default on the server either, they are just shared out. Also no GPO in place that assigns a printer.
Any ideas are appreciated thanks.

Unable to access shared printer - access denied
Hi all,
Windows server 2016
I installed printers and shared them to some users (for me too), everything worked fine for few days. Suddenly they have an access error (users poweroff and poweron their laptops from which they print).
Me (instead of poweroff) hibernate my laptop, and haved possibility to print without any errors. But, when I reboot my machine I got the same errors as my users.
Printer setup was not changed on server on this days, only i tryed to install the MultiPoint role, with fail (I have icons, and when I try run them I got an errors).
I changed permissions to full control to printers (allow - print, manage printer, manage documents) and still nothing.
UPDATE:
I noticed that, in event viewer there is loots of Security logs for Audit Failure:
- An account failed to log on.
Subject:

Account Name: -
Account Domain:-
Logon ID: 0x0

I work in domain network, server is not connected to domain, only connected to network, and accounts are created locally, users map shares (folders/printers) using local account created on server.
So, why connection to printers is try use Domain credentials instead of local (users already have mapped network share using server local account).

Where are the settings for Enhanced Icons in Devices and Printers?
I enabled enhanced icons in Devices and Printers on a print server running 2012 R2, which initially worked great. However, the next day one of the icons reverted back to a non-enhanced icon. I'd like to refresh this.
I have two specific questions:
- How can I force a refresh on the "enhanced" printer icon?
- Where are the settings for toggling this feature on and off? I also want to prevent print drivers from being automatically being updated, which I initially enabled. Now I cannot find the way back to those settings, which initially showed under the menu bar until activated.
Thanks.

print server on Windows 2016 - slow printer mapping when printer is offline
Hello,
first let me say that my english is not very will, but I will do my best.
I need to migrate our old 2008 R2 print server (around 130 printer) to a new 2016 server. Migrating printer / drivers was not a big deal. The wizzard was able to install all drivers and printers. Mapping and printing over the new server worked as expected.
After some testing I realized that mapping a printer tooks some time (somthing around one minute) when the printer isoffline. If I turned the printer on again it just tooks some seconds to map them. The problem occours with hp upd 6.6 and 5.7.
The problem only occours if print server is windows server 2016 and clients are windows 2016 or windows 10.
The printer driver are preinstalled on the clients.
server 2016 -> windows 10 = slow
server 2016 -> server 2016 = slow
server 2008 R2 -> server 2016 = fast
server 2008 R2 -> windows 7 = fast
server 2008 R2 -> server 2008 R2 = fast
Someone got an idea?
Thanks a lot.

I'm looking for the FAX & Scan "Sent Items" log in a server 2008 (32 bit) backup; and once I find it how do I view it?
I have a good back up of the time period I need this information from and have it loaded up as a drive letter. I just have had no luck locating the SENT ITEMS log and don't know what I'm looking for. Are they separate individual files that can be
viewed standalone, or is there a DB that houses all these items? How do I view them once I find it?

Get-Printer not reliable in logon scripts and RDP
Hello,
the following powershell script shows, that the Get_Printer Command
does not directly retrieves the complete list of installed printers.
The more often you call Get-Printer the more printers you will
get, until you have all of them
Reproduceable with : In Logon scripts, but that not easy to debug,
its the same, after a rdp disconnect/reconnect.
best regards,
printersprinter

Sample Output after rdp reconnect to Windows 2016 Server.

#
# During logon testing and seeing that my script
# does not work in most cases during logon,
# this is another idea.
# I found out, that calling the
# method Get-Printer a few times
# makes the result look better, each call.(Windows!)
#
# How to reproduce:
# - The problem occurs in a LOGON Script, but can be
# reproduced with an RDP session and disconnect
# - You need some UNC Printers, I have 7
# - Leave a powershell open, disconnect your RDP session
# - wait two minutes, reconnect
# - start the script
# You will see:
# On the first call after disconnect, its empty: $null,
# On the seconod call I have one printer
# On the third: two
# On the fourth: 7 (this is correct the end result)
#
# So we implement the WarmUp phase like this:
# Do not run for more that ten seconds
# if the last four times we have the same result, we assume
# that everyting is fine.
#
# returns the "warmup array"

Group policy unable add printer
Server 2012 has already group policy to add printers to client computers.
After the server reboot unexpectedly, the Print Services log shows messages on shared printers:
Group Policy was unable to add per computer connection \\Server\Printer. Error code 0x5. This can occur if the name of the printer connection is incorrect, or if the print spooler cannot contact the print server.
Some printers have the same message but with Error code 0x709.
How to fix it?
Thanks,
