Intermittent RDP Printing - Windows server 2012 R2

On a server windows 2012
R2 with any update installed, remote users
can't print to redirected printersintermittently.
In the event log, it is an event id
372 with the following description:
Unable to print the document Print Document
owned by #username#on
the printer #printername#on #servername#
(redirected 3). Try to
print the document again, or restart
the print spooler.
Data Type: RAW. Size
of the spool file in bytes: 345 378.
Number of bytes printed: 0.
Total number of pages in the document: 1.
Number of pages printed: 0. The client computer:
\ \#rdp_servername#. Win32 error code
returned by the print processor: 122.
The data area passed to a
system call is too small.
I can't find any solution on the forums.
Has anyone had similar experiences?
thanks
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
This error might be caused by one of the following conditions:
-  The printer is not reachable on the network
-  Windows cannot allocate sufficient memory
-  There was invalid or incomplete data received by the print spooler
-  A driver upgrade failed
-  There is a bad printer device driver
Please check below article for more information.

  • Serial Port communication very slow in RDP on windows server 2012

    Hellò, we have installed a new server 2012 and connected some thinclients via RDP, since that moment all peripherals connected to the imported com ports of the thinclients are running very slow, for example the cash register issue any receipt only after
    15-20 seconds!!. We have try to connect via RDP also a personal computer with many other OS like windows 8, windows 7, or XP but the result is the same: 15-20 seconds for a receipt!! We solve the problem only changing the server 2012 with a old server
    2008 or 2003!. How is possible window server 2012 is so slow on RDP imported com ports??. There is something to set for speed up the com ports on rdp? For us this is a great problem, all of our customers are using cash register via RDP and they can't wait
    all this time for a receipt. For your information we have tried to connect the cash register to the same com port of the same thinclient to the same server 2012 without RDP and the issue of the receipt is fast, so the problem is something on RDC of the new
    OS windows Server 2012. Also note this is a bi-directional communication because the cash register use a bi-directional communication for printing each one of the voice on the receipt, this problem wll not affect other printers unidirectional where the
    print process starting in less one second. Please help us to solve this problem, otherwise we will not more install windows server 2012.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    When the slow performance issue occurs on server 2012, check the Windows Logs – Application category of the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) on both the client and server sides. If there is any logs recorded, please let us know them. Please also check the
    driver is properly installed on server and check the compability guide with the cash register machine, whether it support server 2012 with remote session. If there is particular requirement then you need to solve them first.
    In addition, would like you to try connecting with RDP 8.1 and check whether it faces same issue.

  • Single server solution for RDS / TS / RDP using Windows Server 2012 R2

    Planning on setting up a small single server and  need this functionality:
    * 3 local users runnnig Windows 7 Home Premium needs to access files on the server
    * The same 3 users should also be able to connect from home (PC, Mac, iPhone) and run an application on the server. (Session-Based Remote Desktop).
    We want to use Windows Server 2012, and found out that Essentials does not support RDP, so that leaves Foundation and Standard versions.
    However, I also found out that in WS 2012 the RDP can not be on the same server as the Domain Controller, and we therefor needs to run 2 server instances on our hardware. I think this starts to look way to complicated for what we want to do, but found out
    that WS 2012 R2 allows a single server to run RDP (See TechNet article 2833839).
    So we will go for Windows Server 2012 R2, either Foundation or Standard to set up our RDP.
    So now the question: Will that solution work with our local machines running Windows 7 Home Premium, as they cannot connect to a domain? Can we set up some kind of simple file share or Workgroup to acces files locally while still keeping the RDP
    functionality on the server?
    And, will WS 2012 Foundation R2 do this as well as WS 2012 Standard R2?
    (I have been asking several locat MS representatives to find a solution to our needs, but no one seems to know how this works....of cause we could just get 2 WS 2012 Standard server instances, run one as DC and on as RDCB and upgrade all our clients to Win
    7 Pro, but we would like a solution with minimal investment in time and money)

    Hi Ryan, 
    and thanks for the answer! I do not know how to do "multiple quote" in this forum so I do it this way:
    "have you considered virtualisation, as you can run multiple virtual machines under one licence. I think this would be the cheapest and most efficient use of your money. Upgrading your clients to Windows 7 pro would allow you to have domain control
    Single Sign On SSO. "
    This is the "official" solution I think: Upgrade all clients to Win 7 Pro and run two instances of Win Server 2012 Standard on the server.
    However, I was hoping to get away with something a bit more Quick & Dirty.....;-) We do not have big security issues and will have a good backup system, and I think for 3 users only, it will be more work trying to centralise administration like updating,
    backups etc, than to just go to each machine and do what is needed. 
    We are good with computers/Windows but have no Server experience. A server guy will help us get started, but I dont want him around after that, so it must be a very simple solution.
    Also, installing 2 instances of WS 2012 and upgrading all 3 clients to Win Pro, and then installing all software and settings on the clients into the new domain user accounts on these clients is quite a lot of work. So I was hoping to keep only existing local
    users on the client machines and only have some kind of file share thing going on with the server disks that we need to access. So perhaps use a Workgroup instead of a domain, if that works with the RDS setup?
    "Option 1
    2 virtual machines 1x DC and 1x RDS server."
    So, if we set up RDS this way (so we can log in remote and run our application session-based on the server), can we keep the local clients running Windows Home Premium using our current local user logins (ie no domain user accounts created on the client machines,
    as this is impossible in Home versions) and still access the server disks somehow, or is it impossible? 
    Another question is if it is stupid/a really bad solution...but I still want to know if it is possible....;-)
    "Option 2 
    2 virtual machines 1x DC and 1x RDS server.
    You can configure your RDS solution as a domain joined platform and will still be able to access resources from the local device as you can map local drives to the session host. http://www.serverintellect.com/support/techfaq/drive-rdp/
    Your users would have two sets of credentials, one for the local client and one for the domain."
    I do not want to access files over VPN or RDP, we only want to run an application on the server from remote (Session-Based Remote Desktop). However when we use the local clients we want to access files on the server, and then we access huge image and film files
    on fast RAID drives, so local network speed must be top speed. Also if possible we would like to not upgrade to Win Pro, and then joining a domain is not possible.
    "Option 3
    1x Server
    The second option would be to manually deploy the session host role and licencing role to a work group server. This would limit access to RDP only and you would loose web access functionality."
    I think this is what I was hoping for. It seems that the new R2 release of WS 2012 allows you to rund RDP and Domain Controller roles on the SAME instance of the server. That sounds nice, it limits what we need to keep track on and minimises the load on the
    server that needs to act as a very fast file server locally.
    However, can we do this and still keep file acces with only Windows Home (no domain) in the local clients (same question as above under "Option 1")?

  • Black Screen on a RDP Session on a Windows 8 VM (with a RemoteFX 3D Card) running on Windows Server 2012 HyperV

    Hi,
    I am trying to test a Windows 8 VM (RTM) with a RemoteFX 3D adapter (I used Powershell command to add the RemoteFX adapter to the VM) and when I connect the machine with the RDP Client (Windows Server 2012 RTM),
    I just get a black screen.
    Off course, I can not connect using VM Connect (because RemoteFX is enable in the VM).
    I tested same configuration but this time with a Windows 7 VM and this time it's OK, RemoteFX working fine.
    Any Idea will be apreciated :-)
    Stanislas Quastana, Microsoft France http://blogs.technet.com/stanislas

    I may have a solution for this which I am about to test.
    My environment is 2012R2, Win8.1 VDI Machines on a Dell R720 with Nvidia GRID K2.
    I've been trying to rollout VDI all week with everything working except RemoteFX.
    On logon the screen is just black but if you press enter it continues to log on, it appears that the logon message text may be causing the issue so I have created a GPO for my template machines and client machines which disables require CTRL+ALT+DEL
    and also deletes from the registry the logon message and logon text entries that are displayed on all machines, I figure the users will see this when logging onto their ThinPC machine before connecting to VDI so it's not needed twice.
    CONFIRMED working!!

  • Windows 2012 R2 - Intermittent RDP Printing

    Hello!
       I have built a Windows 2012 R2 server with Remote Desktop Services running on it.  Remote users are having trouble with inconsistent printing through their RDP clients.  Their printers show up as redirected printers and do print sometimes,
    but other times nothing prints - the user click print, select their printer, and nothing shows up.  Later it will just start working for them again.  The problem seems to be universal - it is happening on clients with different versions of Windows,
    different printer models, and different printer manufacturers.  Has anyone seen this?  Are there any hotfixes for this that I can install?  I have all of the latest Windows Updates installed.
    Thanks... Dave

    This problem is a bug in Virtual Channel. I have clients suffering with this bug with all my programs using Virtual Channel.
    Usually all communications between server and client side under a remote session (RDP or ICA of Citrix) use Virtual Channel. This was developed by Citrix than was resold to Microsoft. Up to Windows 2008R2 there were no change at all and everything works
    smoothly. But since Windows 2012, someone in MSDN team has changed the implementation of this protocol then everything that uses Virtual Channel as communication transport layer becomes unstable, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    Please read here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7ce64172-fa7a-4a70-8635-4b83a0d88a79/wtsvirtualchannelopen-fails-on-windows-server-2012-identical-code-works-fine-on-windows-server-2008?forum=winserverTS
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/76ac27e0-5e96-4f8d-92b1-ceb1b6010e87/problems-with-wtsvirtualchannelopen-and-wtsvirtualchannelread-under-windows-server-2012?forum=windowssdk
    In the first thread, there are questions asked, and someone has given some information from Microsoft MSDN team but they want people pay for more support about that bug.
    I have lost almost 2 weeks to deal with this problem to make a workaround for my client to get a stable working version of my Remote Executer program. What I have found is Virtual Channel functions now become very unstable: ex: with WTSVirtualChannelOpen,
    sometimes it fails at the first call in the session, not only from a repeating call as the information given from MSDN engineer. Sometimes  WTSVirtualChannelWrite fails, return 0, but the GetLastError returns error message "The function completed
    successfully". It's very weird.
    I have found the workaround method is when a error occurs during the communication, I have to close the Virtual Channel, and retry to open it (WTSVirtualChannelOpen) several times until it successes and retry the send (WTSVirtualChannelWrite)  or if
    the Virtual Channel could not be reopened I have to unload the whole module and retry the open and send process again. When it starts working,  it seems stable, but the error can happen at any time.
    Hope that workaround may help some people until Microsoft recogizes this is a bug in their new Virtual Channel implemetation and provides some useful informations.
    My other program Remote File Transfer got problem from this bug too. Inside the program, data were tranferred in binary format buffers from server to client, in some packages there are some strange bytes inserted in the package, the result is the file was
    corrupted on the client side.
    If you Google "WTSVirtualChannelOpen Windows 2012 problem" you will find similar problem. I believe there will be more and more people having problem with this bug, because a lot of stuffs use Virtual Channel for the communication between 2 sides,
    like printing, device redirection, etc.
    All my virtual channel programs was working since Citrix Metaframe XP 1.0 + Windows 2000, then 2003 till Windows 2008R2 without any problem, that can confirm that the Virtual Channel communication in Windows 2012/R2 has problem because I have followed
    the instruction from that thread but the problem is very unpredictable.
    Hope that someone can forward these information to MSDN team, and they can give us a fix soon or at least give us some useful information to deal with this problem.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 print issues

    We are using terminal server with Windows Server 2012 R2. Our users are using Windows 7 Embedded thin clients with MSTSC RDP 8.0. We are using network printers.
    There is problem with printing from Adobe Reader. We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.06. Sometimes users cannot print from Adobe Reader with error message "Printer not found" even though we can print on same printer from other software. This problem can be solved by relogging user, but in our enterprise environment, this is not acceptable solution.

  • Intermittent loss of UNC path access on Windows Server 2012

    Hi All,
    I hope someone can help with a major headache we've been having on two Windows Server 2012 boxes since September this year. Basically, these servers will intermittently lose the ability to browse network shares from windows explorer and the only way we have
    found to resolve this is to reboot. When the issue happens, we can't even log into the server as it sits at 'applying user settings' - presumably as it is failing to access the netlogon share on our DCs. If we have an active RDP session when the issue occurs,
    we can connect. In this instance we see that if you enter a UNC path in Windows explorer and hit enter, nothing happens - no error messages or anything. The only way I can get any response is when trying to access the IPC$ share on another server, which gives
    the following response:
    \\server\ipc$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource, Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
    The parameter is incorrect.
    Everything looks right from a physical network perspective, as we can ping from the affected servers and DNS queries are working fine. I can even run net view from powershell and see the local servers and shares on these, however any attempt to access shares
    just hangs the powershell session.
    If I look in the SMBClient event logs, I can see entries like the following:
    Event ID 30805
    The client lost its session to the server.
    Error: The transport connection is now disconnected.
    This is made worse by the fact that when this issue happens, we can't even cleanly reboot the server (it just hangs) and have to perform a cold boot.
    The firewall has been turned off and we have taken off our antivirus software to eliminate it as a possible cause. We have even rebuilt one of these servers on a clean install of 2012 R2, but the issue re-appeared. We have also tried using different NIC
    drivers (Broadcom NICs installed) to no avail. We have also tried disabling IPv6.
    We have logged a ticket with Microsoft support, who have come back telling us that this could be related to a known bug with DFS in 2012 for which a fix is being tested prior to release in a few weeks. However, I can't sit around on my hands until then on
    the off chance that this fix will resolve our problem. These servers are hosting our production Lync 2013 front end service and when this issue occurs it breaks the address book search and response group services, so this issue is of critical importance for
    us to get resolved asap.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    That's right, if you hit enter absolutely nothing happens, no error messages. It makes no difference if I try name or IP address - even trying \\localhost doesn't work. A few minutes later after trying, an entry appears in the SMBClient event logs as mentioned
    in my original post. To me it looks like something deep within the networking operations of the OS is randomly breaking. Also, if I try to browse the network from Windows explorer, it just hangs. When I try to restart the workstation service, it just gets
    permanently stuck in a stopping state and the server has to be cold booted. Once it boots up, everything is working fine again....until the next time. There is absolutely nothing appearing in the application or system event logs indicating the root cause.
    I've checked and DNS resolution is working OK and I can telnet to other hosts on all the required ports.
    I had originally thought it might be related to the Broadcom NICs as we've had issues with them in the past, but we switched over to use the 2012 inbox driver for them and the same issue happens. I should also mention that one server is a blade and the other
    a rackmount box. Dell support have run full diagnostics on both and have come up clean, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. The even more baffling thing is that we have a third server with identical spec and config that does not have the problem.
    The only difference with this third server is that it is not part of a Lync pool pairing using DFS and sits in a remote location on a different LAN.
    I had thought of trying to drop back to use SMB1 by disabling SMB2 and 3, but I'm not sure if this would adversely affect any other services.
    This one really has me stumped.

  • Disabling RDP Compression on Windows Server 2012 R2

    It seems like with the Windows Server 2012 R2 GPO's, this setting is no longer available? How do we disable RDP compression so that we can use it with Riverbed products?

  • V3 Printer driver on Windows Server 2012

    Hello there.....
    I have installed Print services on Windows Server 2012. I have read several forum and found that it is a best practice to install V3 drivers if workstations run on Windows 7.
    Our all of workstations have windows 7 so I want to install v3 printer drivers. we have printers of HP and Canon mostly.
    So can anyone tell me how can I get V3 drivers of HP Laserjet P4015 for example...
    I have installed a driver but found its v4.
    Please tell me how can I install V3 driver for HP, Canon printers.....
    Thanks
    Kind Regards

    You would need to use the V3 drivers that the vendors provide to Windows Update

    Hello, Alan
    Morris.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
    I've noticed interesting thing - if to
    check "Enable advanced printing features"
    manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
    feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
    and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
    Thanks.

  • Windows Server 2012 Standard - HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus printer not working after promoting to Domain Controller / AD Services

    An associate and myself installed the built-in drivers for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus multi-function (network) printer on a Windows Server 2012 Standard server installation and everything worked fine whenever I want to print anything directly from the
    Windows Server machine (there's a reason for this, so please understand that ;)  ).
    We were able to print without any problems from the Windows Server 2012 machine, using the drivers from Microsoft.  Mainly, because HP has not listed any specific support for Windows Server 2012, only Windows Server 2008 R2, however, the drivers that
    came with Windows 2012 seem to work very well.
    PROBLEM: I later had to promote the Windows Server 2012 to a Domain Controller, and created the Active Directory configurations, even enabled the Print Services.  After doing all of that, the HP printer will not print anything.  It's like all print
    requests directly from the Windows Server go to Nil.
    Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? The only thing I can think of is that after perhaps something affected printing directly once we promoted the server to being a DC, and added other features / roles.  I even tried installing the
    HP drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2, and the results are still the same...nothing prints.  Trust me, the printer is set as the Default Printer and even when choosing to print, we make sure the HP OfficeJet Pro is selected, and is on, as other Windows
    Client PC's can print to it directly.
    Does anyone have any suggestions we could try?  Thanks in advance.

    While it is quite a while since this was posted - I can concur a similar issue exists.
    We have spent the better part of a day trying to work out why other HP printers work fine but our 8620 prints are not printing and going to Nil.  The print server is hosted on a shared DC.  Comparing to the initial posters details, for some reason
    it seems to be most commonly related to the OfficeJet Pro 8600/8610/8620/8630 series printers.
    I ended up doing a print server migration from the domain controller to stand alone host and all printers now work from a single server rather than a mix.  Domain controller OSes varied from 2008, 2012, 2012 R2 (tested with multiple) and only after
    all of those failed then tried a stand alone server os machine as a last resort which worked fine.  Printing directly from Win 7 / 8 /8.1 clients to the IP always worked.

  • Printing Problem with Epson LX-300+ii and LX-310 in Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit

    And so, I did manual mapping & disable the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first". Haha, what a surprise, I got the following result:
    And so I uninstalled the printer driver, and install it again, thinking that I might chose a wrong driver, but.... same result. I know for sure that I chose the correct driver.
    Next, I tried connecting the printer DIRECTLY to the server. Log-in to the Server directly,
    not using Remote Desktop. And tried printing again, haha... really... what a surprise... I got the same problem here !!!
    So now I know the problem is not the Easy Print driver, not mapping or registry problem either. It's the print driver. This is SUPER FRUSTRATING, I tried the same driver from the same CD in Windows 8.1 64-Bit with no problem. I tried it too in Windows 7
    32-Bit with no-problem either. But somehow, this driver is problematic in Windows Server 2012 R2.
    Any help? Anybody else bump into this same problem ? I'm close to giving up, been spending too much time figuring out this damn thing.

    Hi Bulent Sahin,
    Thank you for your reply, I tried IBM Graphics driver, but the result is equally as bad. But your answer inspire me to try different drivers. And so, the closest & best driver that I could use now is EPSON ESC/P 9pin V4 Class Driver
    It's not as good as I would expect, but at least now, it's acceptable & readable. I can't believe that I'm the only one who have this problem
    Thank you Mr. Sahin

  • How to install RDP CALs pack on Windows Server 2012 R2 (member of NT domain)

    OS: Windows Server 2012R2 (64-bit), member of NT (Samba 3) domain.
    Task: install RDP CAL pack, to allow connecting above its default 3 sessions limit.
    Problem: when setting up RDP licensing/other required service, I came to a problem: RDP access broker service requires AD type of domain to be installed.
    The server is part of NT (Samba 3) domain and we have no intention to change domain type only to satisfy an auxiliary service.
    Is it possible to enable additional RDP CALs on Windows Server 2012 R2 without mandatory joining an AD? The license control available up to Windows Server 2008 has been removed from Windows Server 2012, I can't bypass installing broker and the rest of related
    services.
    Thank you for any information.
