Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

I am an HP employee.

Hi.
I think I solved this yesterday. We got 1 printserver, with an alias, which we had this problem to connect to. I noticed that there is a difference between x86 and 64bits system entries in the registry...
When you are having a 64bit system, you must use REG_QWORD instead of REG_DWORD, REG_DWORD is only to be used in x86 system! See below.
Windows 2008 server R2 64-bit
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
= ”DnsOnWire” = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters
= DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v DisableStrictNameChecking /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters\
REG_SZ = OptionalNames = “aliasname” (C-name record in DNS)
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v OptionalNames /t REG_SZ)
Windows 2008 server x86
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print = "DnsOnWire" = REG_DWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_DWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Lanmanserver\Parameters = DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_DWORD Decimal = 1

(C-name record in DNS)
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v OptionalNames /t REG_SZ)
Don't forget to reboot your system after these changes!

MacBooks can't resolve printer name when sending job to windows 2008 R2 print server.

So I am work at company in a windows server 2008 r2 and we have a windows 2008 r2 printer server. Our macbook pros are not on the domain so every time we print to the server we have to type in our credentials.
MacBooks can't resolve printer name when sending job to windows 2008 R2 print server while on wifi but works when hard wired. Any thoughts? The error message I receive is "invalid printer name". I've tried adding the printer through the advanced tab in the print and scan tab of system preferences. I add it buy smb://servername/printername.
When I tried to print on the wifi at my office I get "invalid printer name" in the print job status que.
We can just do direct printing but I would like to know if anyone has had this issue before and if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I assume you aare using exchange when configuring the email notifications? What I would do is just use a normal IMAP & SMTP account such as Outlook.com or if you use a POP connector for exchange, one of those accounts' SMTP settings.
For example, I have a POP connector installed and my emails are hosted at 1and1. What I would do here is put my 1and1 SMTP settings in and use these, instead of using Exchange.
Let me know if this is possible.

How to add Windows 2012 R2 RDS to Existing Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server running and I am looking to add a Windows Server 2012 R2 server to it. All I see when I google the setup is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS, cant find anything to integrate with a current 2008 R2 Terminal
Server.
Can anyone help with this or point me to a blog I possibly missed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, agree with diramoh; as already commented. If you want user session from RDS Server 2012 R2 then you need to install RDS License role on server 2012 R2, purchase and install RDS CAL (per user or per device) according your requirement and then you
can use user session for server 2012 R2 and also for lower version.
But as you already have Server 2008 R2 RDS CAL, then with that you can simply access lower version but can’t manage Server 2012\R2.
For more information, you can refer following document.
Licensing
Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

How to activate Windows 8.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 KMS server when I don't have Windows 2012 R2 kms host key

I only have windows 8.1 kms host key but I can't add a client OS kms key to Windows 2008 R2 kms server. And I don't have Windows 2012 R2 license either. Is there any way I can activate Windows 8.1 using my existing kms server? Thanks.

I would like a yes no clarification answer. So does this mean that EVEN WITH THE PATCH. My Server 2012 Standard edition that currently hosts KMS VA for clients running Win7, Win 8, Office15, Server 2008, Server 2012. Will not be able to host windows 8.1?
I will have to install 8.1 and use as a host?
if you have a KMShost product key for WS2012R2, you can patch a down=level Server and be fine.
(the OP didn't renew SA or otherwise has no KMShost pkey for WS2012R2)

I'm having similar issues and have a similar question that doesn't seem to be answered:
My KMS server is Windows 2008 R2 (Also is my domain controller). I want to activate Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 machines off this KMS server. I can install the 2012 R2 key just fine but receive error 0xC004F015 (The Software Licensing Service reported
that the license is not installed) when I try to install my 8.1 KMS key.
What I'm gathering from this thread is that I have to set up a Windows 8.1 host and set it up to be a KMS server exclusively for activating Windows 8.1. Is this correct? If so, Microsoft needs to fix that. I have a SERVER for activations for a reason: it
is a server, not a client. If I am mis-understanding, how do I get my Windows 2008 R2 server to accept the Windows 8.1 KMS key for activating 8.1 clients?
Thanks!
You don't need Windows 8.1 KMS key. Your 2012 R2 KMS key will be able to activate your Windows 8.1 machines. So your current set up is fine, no need to set up another Windows 8.1 KMS host.
My problem is I don't have 2012 R2 KMS key as I didn't buy any Windows 2012 R2 license. So I can't use 2012 R2 KMS key to activate my Windows 8.1.
Oh that's interesting. I guess I need to play around more because my 8.1 test machine isn't activating. I'll start a new thread for that if needed. Sorry for the confusion.

Slow printing from windows 2008 R2 with Cisco 6509

Dear All,
I am having a wiered issue in my network. We have a windows 2008 R2 print server. Normal documents print's fine. If you print a image or pdf file, it takes a long time to print. For example a 2 MB PDF image with two page took me 10 minutes to print. The data from the server to the physical printer is really slow. To test it, i have loaded the driver on another windows 2008 R2 and the result is same slowness. We uses Xerox Colorqube 9303 printers.
I have tried most options from microsoft which didnt help. I have installed a windows 2012 server to test if its specific to windows 2008, but the result remains same. Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
I have seen someone got a solution to this by disabling ip local-proxy-arp, this is not enabled nor available in my switch.
I have 6509 as core switch with IOS 12.2(33)SXH8. Does anybody come across such a scenario? Is there any special port configuration required for windows 2008 R2 to work normal?

Hello
Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
- Printing directly from a computer which has the locally installed driver is printing fine.- it does seem to suggest the server or the network- however locally installed print drivers work fine so the communication to the printer from the client over the network seem to be okay.
However the centrally installed print drivers means the processing job is now with the server which is between the printer and client
Whats the RTT from client and server and client to printer .etc? - perform a extended ping to validate connectivity between all 3
Have you hardcoded the server port to the nic setting of the server - Are the speed/duplex settings manually applied to the servers if so make sure they are also manually set on the switch ports realting to these servers - this is apllicable to the printers too.
Is the same driver used locally is also on the printer server correct?
Whats printing protocol ( RAW) and port being used on the printer server
Do you have print pooling setup on the server -(typo in last post)
Are these printer shared in A/D and deployed by GPO -are the correct permissions set on these shares
Check the printer permission on the spool folder also - users need at least read & execute privileges
Have you manually cleared the print spooler folder and restarted the spooler service on the server?
Are the print jobs being render to the clients or is the server taking the load of processing the print job?
Any printer queue priorites set?

Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server.

Hi,
I was wondering about running Adobe Acrobat Std X (10) on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server for two users. Anyone else that have any experience with this? Best solution?
Best regards
Vegard

Although Server 2008 R2 is a supported install platform, you'll have to be extremely careful about licensing - Acrobat is not a server product, so the only person who would be legally permitted to connect to it would be the one who owns the copy of Acrobat in question. Sharing a copy between multiple users is not an option; for that there are dedicated server-based solutions such as LiveCycle.

Windows 2008 R2 File Server - user profiles appear underdirectory C:\user

I've a windows 2008 r2 file server and few day ago I've noticed that under directory c:\users some user profiles have been created.
These users don't have rdp access to this server and don't use any ts application.
Is this a problem or a normal behavior?

Hello,
IIRC this is normal behavior as they do a connect to the server to access the shared folders.

Windows 2008 R2 Driver for HP Laserjet 8150 - Network Connect Fails With 0x000004005 Error

Dear All,
I'm trying to connect to a network laserjet 8150 with Windows 2008 R2. The server keeps complaining that it can't access a suitable driver - even if I point it specifically to the universal printer drivers available on the HP web pages.
Connecting to the printer manually with a new TCP/IP port seems to work but I need to be able to use the 'right-click, connect' option as the printer is not using a standard port for normal use.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks.
Chris

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Windows 2008 R2 Print Server DRP

Hi all, I have two servers Windows 2008 R2 with the print server rol on different sites.
One of the server is productive and has around 600 printers and the second one should be the DRP server on another data center.
I need a way to synchronize the changes from the productive server (add, remove or queues and drivers changes) to the DRP server.
I tried to make a backup and do a restore on the DRP server but it's a very large file to transfe from one data center to another, is posible to create a script to keep the changes up to date on the DRP server or do I use any application to do that?
Thanks in advance
Fer

I think there is no better solution than using the printer migration tool.
A script could add and remove queues, ports and even drivers but you'll get stuck on the printer preferences. Those settings are driver dependent and even driver versions can be different in the way they store there settings.
If you don't want to use the printer migration tool you should use print manager to manage both servers from one console and just do everything twice.

Slow network printing on Windows 2008 Server

Hi,
We are just testing/configuring a Windows 2008 (x64) server to replace an aging Windows 2000 file & print server.
I have added the print services role and added a network TCP/IP printer (a HP Laserjet 2200).
When I print to this printer from either the server (via print test page) or from a client, it takes around 30 seconds before the print will start to print. On our Windows 2000 server, this would print immediately.
I have insalled the HP 2200 driver that came with Windows 2008.
Anyone any ideas where to find the problem causing the delay?
Thanks,
Kenny

Hello,
I have done some research and I find firewall component of the antivirus software such as Mcafee might cause similar network delay issues.
If you have installed AV softwares on Windows Server 2008, please try uninstalling it temperately and test whether this will make any difference.
Moreover, You could also try disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level on Windows Server 2008 one by one to see whether it makes any difference.
To disable TCP Chimney Offload, follow these steps:
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
To disable RSS, follow these steps:
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh int tcp set global RSS=disabled
To disable 'Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level', follow these steps: :
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
I hope this helps. Thanks.
