Windows 10: Installing printer driver # Access Denied – print share server 2012 for some users

Greetings Microsoft Support,





We installed new print servers 2012 and they are running Safecom G4. They used to be on server 2008.



Problem at the moment :



Some users are experiencing “access denied error” when trying to connect to the Safecom pull print share



We have checked the server and all the setting seem to be correct and also the users that are affected have mixed profiles and Windows OS builds

This is not related to the error that the users are getting.

However, I have checked that the mentioned Group Policy setting is not configured for all computers including working and not working. So this does not apply in our environment.

This is related to Windows Server 2003 & XP. Also not applicable to our environment.





Dear Bonga,



Please note that the same user is able to connect from another computer. Hence, there is no problem with the server settings.



However, I did check and both drivers are installed already. Below are the printer properties:






The “System32\Drivers” folder has Read & Execute access for all users. The folder is not shared directly but it is working for the same user and all other users.






The problem is that it is not able to authenticate and keeps asking for credentials:












Do you guys perhaps have an idea how we can go about to resolve this issue.



Many Thanks



Bonga

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

1. Remove the printer device.
2. Add a Printer
3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
4. Select a shared printer by name
5. Browse
6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
7. Select the displayed Printer.
8. Next
9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
11. Next
12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
14. Additional Port information required.
15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
16. Next
17. Detecting the Driver Model
18. Install The Print Driver
19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
20. Next
21. Replace the Current Driver
22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
23. Next
24. Do not share this printer
25. Next
26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
27. Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

Print Server Issue

Hello,

i created a print server, but the problem when someone add a printer to his computer all apps can't manage it.

For example Chrome, Edge, Windows Photos, Libre office can't change paper size, orientation etc. It prints whatever are the settings on the driver.

It does not matter if the logged account is admin or user and it's not permissions on the printers, i tried it. The problem is only if the printer is

shared on the server, if the printer is installed on the PC its okay.

Offline Branch Printing is enabled and i set a GPO that allows users to install printer drivers without admin rights if that matters.

Only MS Office 2013 can manage shared printer.

Server: Windows Server 2012 R2

Clients: Windows 10 1803
