Hello,
The SPOOLER service doesn't start.
I can't kill the SPOOLSV.exe service : access denied.
I have "start pending".
How to fix the issue.
ID : 7034
The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6 time(s).
I also plan to restart the server.
Regards,
We can't seem to get any sort of acceptable printer management working via Windows technologies. I've come here looking to see what we did wrong, what we can do or fix to get this working, before we start homebrewing a solution.
Our Setup:
We currently have over 10 remote desktop session host terminal servers, servicing over 100 staff. Printers are physically located around the office, typically 8 staff to a printer. Staff are not assigned terminal servers in a geographical manner, so printers
must be managed on a user-by-user basis, not by computer.
We have a single 2008r2 print server with 20 or so printers.
Everything's in a single Active Directory domain, Domain and Forest functional level "Windows Server 2012 R2".
What we have tried:
Custom Group Policy:
We tried making group policies for each printer, defining "User Configuration>Preferences>Control Panel Settings>Printers". Action=replace, default=yes. Assign users to the security filtering to have this printer configured for them on login to whatever terminal server they were assigned.
Problems:
Default printer would not always be set. Some programs would "lose" this printer, and we'd have to reconnect the printer for it to show in these programs again.These group policies would sometimes lock up the Group Policy Client Service, causing entire terminal servers to refuse logins until restarted.
Deploy with Group Policy:
We tried the standard "Deploy with Group Policy" context menu option direct from the print server Print Management pane.
Problems:
Printer would often be created as "Unspecified" device, and would be unusable. If printer was configured correctly, it would create a new, duplicate print spool after every login, which would not go away until the "Print Spooler" service was restarted. (You'd see several identical options under the "See what's printing, Set as default printer" context menu options for a single printer)
Neither of these deployment strategies are acceptable. So, what can I do to get working printer management working?
I have just changed photocopiers from one manufacturer to another and deployed by gpo from print server but when i look at forms from client pc it is looking at local forms and not forms from the print server. How do i make client machines view forms from
print server. We have a lot of custom forms on the print server and can view them from print management on the server but cannot find a way to point clients to view from server instead of locally.

I had my Printer driver checked by HP yesterday and Printer checks out. When I try to activate Printer Properties it will not open up so that I can change ink from normal to best or change type of paper in the printer options. I cannot open printer properties across programs. I think this occurred with one of the Windows 10 updates as I know this feature was working several months back. What do I do to correct this?
Thank you
Environment:
2 servers
Windows server 2016 3 printers installed VIA TCP/IP.
Windows Server 2008 R2 same 3 printers are installed over TCP/IP with same drivers.
Workstations include Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines all x64 bit.
1st printer is a Xerox Work Centre 7830 with a Work Centre 7830 PostScript Driver installed.
The printer is installed on the Windows 2016 server and prints from the server. I have shared the printer on the server and have listed it in the directory. There are additional drivers that should allow the printer to connect to a x64 device. When
I try and connect to the printer through the Active Directory on the 2012 server it finds the printer,
starts to look for a driver and then fails with error code 0x00000003. This happens on all x64 bit machines both Windows 7 and Windows 10.
I CAN connect to the Xerox printer and print from a workstation if it is coming from the Windows server 2008 R2.
Everything is the same (drivers, ports) across the 2 servers 2008 R2, 2012.
The 2nd printer, is a SHARP MX-C300P that is installed on the 2016 server, and shared over the directory. It has a generic Microsoft PCL 6 driver. When I try and connect the printer to a windows 7 machine, I get the same 0x00000003 error. When I try to connect the printer to a Windows 10 machine the printer connects just fine. I have looked over all of the settings and everything seems to be working.
I CAN connect to the Sharp printer and print from a workstation if it is coming from the Windows server 2008 R2.
Everything is the same (drivers, ports) across the 2 servers 2008 R2, 2012.
The third and final printer is a Kyocera CS 3253ci. It is installed with a KX universal print driver. I get the same error 0x00000003 when trying to connect to Windows 10 machines and Windows 7 machines when connecting with the Windows 2012 Server. Everything works fine when I connect to the printer from Windows Server 2008 R2. I can connect the Kyocera printer to a Win 10 machine using the 2008 R2 server and then connect the printer using the Windows server 2016 and it works. There must be something going on with the 2016 server? I've been battling this for a couple of weeks and would love any help.
I have Googled this error and nothing has worked to fix it. I can provide more information but really need this fixed.
Thanks
can I enable Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational logging enabled by GPO for domain controller?

Hello,
I do some work as an msp and a clients computer showed 3 additional printers randomly on her windows 7 machine. The printers have been labeled with someones name, but it is not someone who has ever worked at the company. There is one that says send to onenote 2013 but in properties says its a konica, a pdf creator that goes to an epson, and an epson that says its also a konica. I dont think they have any konica printers in the office, i think theyre all hp. Anyone had this happen before?
Its very annoying to observe total silence at sending faxes. How I can enable sending and replying fax rings playback through default Windows speakers? Found nothing on the web and in Help about it. InTools - Fax Settings - Tracking all Sound Options are enabled by default, but even there I can't find the option to play outgoing and receiving faxes rings exchange.
Hi Everyone,
Facing issue on Print server. I have 13 Printers and all printers frequently holding the print queues.
Once deleted all all files from spool/printers folder and restarted services. All print queues cleared.
Thanks in Advance for support.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear All,
We are using 12 Kyocera Taskalfa printers in our site.
We have setup those printers on print server which is Win 2012 R2.
We have created the profiles as per floor wise and on each floor we have printers on right and left each.
Now the problem which we are facing is that if a user of third floor right-side is on sixth floor left-side and wants to take a print on the sixth floor printer then he has to either go to the third floor for the print or sent the file to be printed to a user on sixth floor.
Now what we require is that if a user on any floor sends a print, it should be available on all printers and user can go to any printer and print his file by using his AD ID. Once printed, the print will be flushed out from all the printers.
Is it possible to configure such setup?

I recently deployed a new Windows 2016 Server Remote Desktop Gateway server. Users login to the server to run Excel and Word. Printers are configured via Printer Management/Deploy with Group policy. When the print spooler is running Word and Excel hang at the logo. The CPU usage spikes. When I disable the print spooler everything works fine except, of course, printing.
Is there a way to exclude the printers from being loaded via group policy when users login use the Remote Desktop server but continue to load when the use their Windows 10 computers on the LAN? Is there a better work around or fix?
I have a 2008 R2 server that has 340 print queues shared on a domain.
I am being asked to replace this server with a 2016 server, and looking for advice on doing this, what to avoid, any pitfalls, etc.
If I export using the Print Management tool, export printers to a file, will I be able to import them in 2016 without losing settings?
hi again
I took a backup of SBS2003 and installed in on same Hardware.
then migrated the Active directory to new box with windows server 2012, then clean up and Migrated same Active Directory to new box (windows 2016) with same name as SBS2003 and everything seemed OK.
(this process took about 4 months)(other problem like printers and remote users etc.)
I took the new Server onsite and unplugged the old SBS2003 and connected the new 2016 domain controler
when client rebooted they complained about the trust relationship ?
DO active directory lose there trust after awhile or I need to be looking somewhere else?
off course I could reestablish trust by rejoining but too many clients.
thanks
For you comments

Terminal server environment on windows server 2012 r2.
Ok so i've had problem with duplication (left side of the screenshot). So i've deleted it, gpo recreate with 1 less but on relog it re-add an other one. had the same problem with the 2 unknown printer on the same screen, but those i've deleted them and they are comming back as unknown (but they are working, just can't be assign as default sinse they are unknown).
What i've did (all no go).
- delete printer, log out log back in.
- Changed the driver.
- Deleted the user profile and recreate it.
- Create new profile with different username... now that works but it's not the right way to doit
yes everything as ben uncheck in the terminal server so there is nothing linking the pc to the server.
I just don't know where to go from here, seams that profile, even if deleted, making me go crazy. Is there somewhere i can dele in the registry or duno... open minded here for anything ... no reformating is not a solution (well it is but...)
Thanks !
MICROSOFT account problem, can't add picture atm.....
Mental img for the moment:
unknown printer = img of a printer withe the name unknown printer
Multiple printer = right click on printer and you get on the "printer properties" multiple name of the same printer.
