Require command to resume ALL Paused Print Jobs

September 19, 2015, 1:31 am

Hi,

I am looking for a command that can be used to resume all the paused print jobs on a Printer.

There is a command using PRNJOBS.VBS as below:

"cscript prnjobs -m [-s RemoteComputer] -p PrinterName -j JobNumber [-u UserName -w Password]"

However, this command requires giving a JobNumber.

I remember, that there is a command similar to this, where all the paused print jobs can be resumed at once. I have even used that command sometime back but do not remember.

Request to help in getting such command.

Thanks,

Amit Jogi

Network Scanning

Problem - New Windows 2008 R2 Server setup with shared folder location (folder for network printing to be stored)  - (Server Name SR115) - No MFD printers can scan to network using the UNC path

- I have setup all the correct permissions on the new server shared location so everyone has full access to that location

- I have tested using a direct IP address to the server (not using UNC Path) and that works fine

- I set a static DNS entry on the Domain Controller for that new Server Name / IP

- I'm using an active Domain Account on the printer to allow permissions to the network share

- Errors on Printer - <small>027-516</small>

I'm a little lost why I can print direct to IP but not UNC path name ( \\115\data) <- doesnt work - ( IP Address\data) <- Works

Please help before i loss anymore hair. :)

Generic / Text Font Size Selection

Good day,

I have a client that requires the printing of invoices from a character based system to a RICOH Africo MPC305 printer. Currently this system prints to dot matrix printers without any issues but when printing to a 'laser' printer, the font size is too large for the A4 page.

The current server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard) and I have added the printer using the Generic/Text driver with the following Font Selections:

Code Page: US (ANSI) (1252)

Select 10 cpi: <0201>

Select 17 cpi: <0201>

The above selection worked on a previous XP machine that printed directly to a laser printer, but these do not work with the Windows Server. I need to know if I am using the correct codes and if not, what do these need to be?

We are unable to change the character system that sends the print job through to specify a font size due to the number of dot matrix printers in use.

Regards,

With Windows10 I am unable to use the scanner function on my Cannon 3in1 device.

My Cannon scanner/printer/copier worked fine pre-Windows10. Now the machine seems unable to see the device. The drivers are all present. The software (Word, Excel, etc.) have no trouble printing.  Windows10 does not admit that Cannon ever made my model of printer (2 years old) or that 3in1 devices have been invented.  My frustration is probably showing. Windows10 troubleshooting suggested that loading a "Scanner App" would solve the problem.  5 tries over the course of a day yielded only messages that the server was having difficulties and we all have bad days...

Does anyone out there know of a solution?

migrating print server without new client drivers possible?

Hi,

I was hoping to be able to migrate to a new print server from 2003 to 2012, without having clients needing to update their print drivers? 

Is this possible? 

When I run a test using a windows 7 client, once the 2012 server replaces the old 2003 server all printers wants their drivers updated on the windows 7 client.

I assume when using shared printers, the client needs the 2012 driver in order to send the print job to the server 2012 server for printing??

Any thoughts on how to then possibly upgrade a print server from 2003 to 2012 R2 without dealing with every client?

Thank you

Robert

Adding network printers to 2003 print cluster

Hi Alan/All,

I am working to add some hand picked print queues from various different servers in our environment and trying to add them to the 2003 print cluster. (around 600 Print Queues) 

Found this power shell command which i believe will help me achieve the same with minimum efforts

function CreatePrinterPort { 
$server = $args[0]  
$port = ([WMICLASS]"\\$server\ROOT\cimv2:Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").createInstance() 
$port.Name = $args[1] 
$port.SNMPEnabled = $true 
$port.SNMPCommunity = "CHDMread" 
$port.Protocol = 1 
$port.Portnumber = "9100" 
$port.HostAddress = $args[2] 
$port.Put()  
} 

function CreatePrinter{ 
$server = $args[0] 
$print = ([WMICLASS]"\\$server\ROOT\cimv2:Win32_Printer").createInstance() 
$print.Drivername = $args[1] 
$print.PortName = $args[2] 
$print.Shared = $true 
$print.Published = $true 
$print.Sharename = $args[3] 
$print.Location = $args[4] 
$print.Comment = $args[5] 
$print.DeviceID = $args[6] 
$print.Put() 
} 

however even though I am using the print cluster IP, i see the printers are getting added to the printer node where the printer cluster is currently present and not on the cluster.

or else is there a better way to add the network printers remotely to a cluster server :)

Push default printer settings from server - setprinter.exe ?

Hi,

I need to push out some new default printer settings (mono and duplex) for 300 printers across about 12 x 2003/2008 print servers.  All of these devices are already mapped by around 2500 WinXP/7 users, so reconnecting the devices for everybody is not an option, nor is redeploying via GPO.  I've read the following thread, which appears to explain what I need to do:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverprint/thread/a0a9bb3f-db24-417d-9905-c310d068d3c6/ 

Firstly, I need the latest version of setprinter.exe, as the one I've got is date stamped April 2003, which I assume is the one that fails to work with devmode 9.  Does anybody know where I can get this from?

Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings.  This is perfect, if correct.  However, would anybody please be able to explain when these periodic updates take place?

Many thanks in advance !

Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

October 21, 2011, 10:09 am

I read the thread Widows 7 printer HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg). 

Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 andXP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).

Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate theNTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:

"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)

Why aren't there x64 drivers?

During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer. Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)

Andrew*

P.S. I was advised to come for help here from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-x64-cant-readinstall-any-printer-drivers/4e7d06e1-33a5-4597-be70-4fdc087a63a7?msgId=9a045994-0d31-4d40-b17d-dba372393ee4

Hi all, is it safe to delete the entire contents of the following folder?

My users seem to be having lots of printing issues, the printers simply stop printing at random times. I have noticed the above folder has loads of SPL and SHD files.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Help with fallout from failed print server

September 30, 2015, 6:06 am

We have a printserver that recently failed- it was also a DC, and has been forcible removed from the domain and physically will not turn on. Now that it's gone, we are going to follow best practices and not place other roles on our DC's, but we are still dealing with the fallout. The problem I am working on is that we have about 25 printer and a couple hundred users who have use them- and some of the users have moved, so there are old printer connections they stopped using some time ago, some printers were added manually, and some by GPO. I think I can write a script to remove the manually added printers- this seems like an easy task. It's the GPO-deployed printers where I am having trouble. I need to remove the printers that were deployed for the old printserver, but every walkthrough I have found starts with logging on to the old printserver, which cannot happen. Part of the problem is that we have some applications that keep going back to the old printer references, and are failing as a result, so we actually have to remove the old connections. The users do not have permissions to do this manually for the GPO-deployed printers. I chose one printer and GPO for my testing, with a group of users representative of the whole userbase. I tried removing the old printer from the policy, but the printer remained on the users' computers. Do I need a script to remove the printers (If that's even possible)? I have been working entirely in the User Settings part of the policy- do I need to use the Computers part? I'm not sure which way to go from here- I appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Using Universal print driver, but shows completely different model and icon of printer

November 20, 2012, 6:38 am

Server 2008 R2, print services role, clients: Win7

I came across a weird problem yesterday. I added a new printer on our print server, when I chose the driver I used the same HP Universal PCL5 driver that all the other shared printers have (I only use the Universal driver for all HP printers). Most of our printers only consist of HP 4000, 4100, 4250, and 4015 (18 printers in all on the server). Once that new printer driver was added, finished the add printer wizard, thenhalf of the printers in the print control panel now displayed "HP Color LaserJet CM2320 MFP Series" and the printer icon of those changed to this color printer. The other half of the printers are displaying the way they did before "HP Universal Printing PCL 5."  When I go to the properties of the printers themselves, under the driver tab, they still show they are using the Universal driver (which is good). So the only changes that got pushed out to the workstations is the icon change and the model. In the Print Server Properties > Drivers tab > I dont see any drivers that match the Color laserjet. A reboot of the server did not yield any changes.

Have you seen anything like this before? This sounds like something Microsoft would have a hotfix for.

Migration from 2003 sp2(x86) to 2012 R2(x64)

I am running into issues with the import/ export part. I am using the wizard through the 2012 MMC snap in I export the file and import it but I do not get everything. For the items that are failing I get the following.

Logname: Microsoft-Windows-PrintBRM/Admin

Event id: 81

Printbrm.exe (the Printer Migration Wizard or the command-line tool) failed to restore print queue printer1. The restore process will continue, skipping this queue. Error: 0x80070705.

I believe the Error: 0x80070705. is a driver issue... I have been updating the drivers.

How can I resolve this issue?

How can I make this easy and fluid?

Windows 8 non-admin won't install Ricoh C3001 drivers

When I try and install the Ricoh C3001 on a Windows 8 machine I get:

Do you trust this printer?

And then:

Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?

The Windows 8 machine is 64 bit, the print server is Windows Server 2008 32-bit.

The Windows 8 machine will install the RicohMP 2352 no problem, which makes me think there is a problem with the C3001 driver on the print server.

Is it because it is non-signed?

Thanks,
Alex
