Windows 10: I can't add a printer to my window 10 PC

I was having constant trouble using my printer. It would not come off the offline. There were too many printers added so I took out all of them , thinking if I added my only printer I should be able to solve my problem. Now I cannot add printer back on . It is not detecting . I do see it being shown as connected to Bluetooth. I have been having "printer offline" issue since the new update for window 10 which I up loaded last week.


Can some resolve my issue. I am desperate to get my printer connected to my window 10 PC.


Thank you very much.

Windows 10 GPO Printer Add issues

A total shot in the dark since this is a very specific issue to our environment, but here it goes...

A little background on this issue, my school district is moving to windows 10. We partially deployed Windows 10 LTSB to some of the labs in the district. We are seeing sporadic issues with our Group Policies deploying printers. We have below 50% success rate with printers actually installing on the Windows 10 client machines.

Thinking it was an issue with LTSB, we downloaded and installed Windows 10 Education version 1709 on a test VM and joined it to the domain. I then applied GPO’s from 4 different servers. 3 Physical Server 2012 R2 servers and the original problem Server 2012 R2 VM Server.

What I found was the same inconsistency after rebooting the Win 10 Edu Test VM. I am getting the same Event 513. See below:





I am 100% sure the naming is right because I can manually add the same printer using the \\SERVER\FerLib path. All printers that fail to add have the Event 513. I am also going to post this on other forums.

We are only seeing this on student accounts which are domain guest accounts, meaning their profiles are non-permanent. We do not have the option to turn them into regular users per district policy. If you need more info that I omitted please let me know. We are getting desperate.

Thanks!
