Windows Server Print Server 2012 R2 MP Not Alerting on Unhealthy Printers

I just spun up a 2012 R2 print server, added some printers (both healthy and unhealthy), installed the SCOM 2012 R2 agent and installed the Windows Server Print Server 2012 R2 MP (all in a test environment). I wanted to demonstrate the value add of this
MP and I made the assumption that we could alert on unhealthy printers, but I'm not seeing any alerts. I have 7 printers total; 1 is offline, 1 has low toner and 1 is out of paper. I would think that at least one of them should generate an alert
based on the performance monitors present and enabled in the MP.
I checked the MP guide but can't find any answers. Does anyone out there have any tips or suggestions for getting printer queue alerts working in the new Print Server 2012 R2 MP?
Regards,
TsunamiSteve

Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes, the printers were discovered by the management pack but all appear healthy even though a few definitely aren't per the Print Management console. I checked the print server for events associated with unhealthy printers but either there aren't any
or we don't have logging turned up high enough for that. The management pack guide refers to this appendix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd206713.aspx) and I've looked
for the Run Monitoring Rule to edit the script but I think this is a reference to an earlier version of the MP and/or a 2003 print server.
It appears all the pieces to accomplish this are present and that I'm just missing a configuration in the MP (hopefully just an override that has eluded me). Any further insight would be greatly appreciated.

Branch Office Direct Print (Server 2012+W8) Discrete Drivers does not function

All of the print drivers support CSR and are unique to the devices (no UPDs used). BODP setting is set to True and "Render Print Jobs on client computers" is checked. "Hold Mismatch documents & Keep printed documents" are not checked.
When I shut down the print spooler on the server, the printers on the W8 clients all go offline. When I print to the W8 print queues, I see them go through the server (paused, then released).
Do I need to check the "Print directly to the printer" setting under advanced on all of the queues on the server as well?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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.
Thanks for your help.

I had the same issue with another Canon UFRII that was not on the network. Canon has some monitor software that attempts to query the device and this threw back Invalid Parameter when the device did not exist. Is your device on the network?

Can you use one of the UFR drivers Canon included with the operating system?

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
Namvi

You would need to use the V3 drivers that the vendors provide to Windows Update
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
or from the vendors website

Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello, dear Colleagues.
User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2.
If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below).
But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features" with powershell
scripts.
$erroractionpreference = "continue"
$colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
Write-host $objPrinter.Name
Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
$objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
$objPrinter.Put()
It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
+ $objPrinter.Put()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
Thank you.

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.

Best Practises for File Sharing and Print Server on Windows Server 2012

Is it better to have File Sharing and Print Server installed on the same Windows 2012 Server ?
Or, they should be installed on 2 different Windows Servers ?
Hussien Sherief

It will work just fine to combine them.
But most people would recommend keeping functionality separate... if the budget allows. That whole "single point of failure" concept. If that server dies, you've lost both of those functions.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service.
--> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying
to manage a service. --> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. .... PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\NAB-WK-02657306\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\APGriMMRP\Table_1_XYcoordinates>   What causes this set of error messages? How can
I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
SELECT ...
FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
SELECT ...
FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
CREATE TABLE apple (a int    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT apple(a, b)
   VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
   (2, 'Gloster'),
   (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
   (5, 'Milenga')
CREATE TABLE orange(c int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT orange(c, d)
   VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
   (3, 'Netherlands'),
   (4, 'Revolution')
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
CROSS JOIN orange
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
INNER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
LEFT   OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
RIGHT OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
FULL OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
go
DROP TABLE apple, orange

Windows 7 64 bit / Server 2012 R2 GUI - Type 4 Print Driver error "Cannot connect to the Printer" 0x00000002

Hello, We have multiple Server 2003 Print server and are working on testing a Server 2012 print server. We have run into an issue where a PRINTER (type 4, normal) works with our Windows 7 32 bit clients, Windows 8.1 64 bit clients and the
2012 R2 server, but when trying to install to a windows 7 64 bit clients using \\SERVER\PRINTER we are getting the above message. (The printer is not offered currently in the directory).
I have been scouring the Google and Bing and have yet to find a satisfactory description that matches this issue. Nor have I found other information that resolve this issue. Like, blaming this on the spooler or DLL fixes or Reg hacks (applied
on the client side).
Specifically, we have used the native 2012 R2 drivers "Ricoh Class Driver", "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL6 Class Driver" and "Xerox Phaser 6120 Class Driver"
If I use a Type 3 driver from Xerox I am able to print from the Windows 7 64 bit client to the print device, but I was hoping to get all of my clients onto 1 driver. I understand that I might be able to use some sort of WMI filtering in our GPO
deployments for the Windows 7 64 bit clients when we go live but this sort of <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="55af8faf-887d-4ea5-9032-7c14b199df0f" id="db4a1e65-db1b-4c94-bd84-20ffc96288ce">henky</gs>.
Please, provide some knowledge. Either a solution to this issue or acknowledgement that separate driver will be required. Thank You!!!!!

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

I recently installed Windows Server 2012 R2 64-Bit.
We have Printer Epson LX-300+ii and LX-310 (dot-matrix) that we share among users. Each user access the Server using Remote Desktop. From previous experience with Windows Server 2008, I knew that these printers will be problematic, especially regarding
the Easy Print driver.
And I was right, using the Easy Print driver, I got the following result:
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.
Andy

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

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

Can't print a pdf file with adobe reader 10.1.12 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS session

If someone can help me
Thanks !

Hi Ajlan,
To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.

Print document's name in Event Log ID #307 on Server 2012

Creating a new printer server using Windows Server 2012. Everything is working out fine so far, however I just ran into one problem that didn't happen in our Server 2008R2 print server.
When looking at print jobs that have completed under: event logs --> Microsoft --> Windows --> PrintService --Operational, I have noticed that Event ID 307 is not displaying the printed document's name in Server 2012 (it did for Server 2008R2).
In Server 2012, the document name simply displays as "Print Document" instead of displaying the document's name.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the document's name to properly display in the event logs?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Alan,
I have configured a Server 2012 R2 standard as print server to manage printers and Monitor the print usage of users, however I am not getting the Print logs (Event Log ID 307) in the default event logs directory on the print Server.
I perform some search and come to know that it’s a known problem in Server 2012 and there is Hotfix available. I installed the Hotfix mentioned here
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2938013/en-us , but still logs are not getting generated.
I also made the below setting for the logs.

Noting seems to be working here or am i doing something wrong here.
