Unspecified error on printer install

I am in the early stages of deploying our new windows 2012r2 print server. I have a number of printers created and ready to deploy. For the most part installing printers from the printers web page is working fine however we are running into the odd windows
7 64bit desktop that we cannot install printers. After we click on the connect button it immediately comes back with an error message as seen below. There is nothing in the logs for the desktop or server that relate to this problem. Has anyone
come across this?
Printer Installation Failed
Unspecified error
Thanks in advance,
Rene

What I am doing is installing via the browser pointing to the server ipp web page that lists all the printers. I select the printer and click on the Connect button which then asks if I want to install the printer. When choosing yes the printer will
install for the most part with the exception of the odd windows 7 desktop. The desktop does have the Internet Printing Client installed in the Print and Document Services. I have tried adding manually using http:// or
\\server\share but both show return a cannot connect message despite the fact I can access the printer web page and can ping the server.

Unspecified error while installing sql server management studio 2012.

HI,
I am trying to install microsoft sql server 2012 service pack 1 management studio express. Its throwing "unspecified error".
I am using "sqlmanagementstudio_x64_ENU.exe". Iam using .net framework 3.5.1.
Repies will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Hello,
I have seen in the past that error and is generally related to remnants
from previous installations of SQL Server. Manually uninstalling the remnants may help as explained on the following resources:

Hello jono13,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message when installing the Officejet 4500 software. What is the exact error message on your computer? Could you send a screen shot of your exact error?
How will you be connecting this printer? Wireless or USB?
Please verify this information and I will assist you further.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I cant install Itunes on my windows 8 laptop. (unspecified errors encountered)

I have tried to install Itunes and Icloud on my windows 8 laptop. I have hunted all through the laptop and see no sign that any apple product has ever been on this laptop, yet iget errors during the install process that causes the installer to abort the install and go right to finish. I have tried to install Itunes repeatedly and it always fails at the same point. Icloud also fails to install. I get a message that says errors have been encountered, but no indication of what those errors are. can anyone suggest a fix for this? or tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

Firefox won't start, and I cannot download the new version as it keeps saying 'unspecified error' when I try

We (my wife and I) downloaded the new version of firefox, but found that it was being very jerky and slow and just didn't really like how it looked. My wife did a system restore on our computer to see if that helped, and since then firefox hasn't started at all - if we double click on the icon, it looks like it's doing something and then it just doesn't open. Whenever I try and download it again it comes up with 'unspecified error'. I've tried deleting all the firefox program files from my computer first, but there is one file in conponents that it won't let me because I need administrator permission. It doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.

Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Error in Print Report.vi

I get "Unknown Error in Print Report.vi", error code -2147352567 when I run Text Report Example.vi in LabVIEW 6.1. My own code that ran OK in LabVIEW 6.0.2 also produces this same result in V6.1. I have not changed printers. Help.

Hi.
I don't have exact solution for your problem, but it is very familiar to what I experienced.
I install 6.1 and Report Generation toolkit included with new package. I had all my programs written in 6.0.2 with Report Generation from version 1.0.
Almost every other VI from Report Generation did not work after I recompiled my VI into Labview 6.1. I spent several days trying to understand what is going on, made several calls to NI tech support, but nobody could help me. Finally I found solution:
Uninstall New Report Generation toolkit Version 1.0a included into latest package of Labview 6.1 and install the very first version (I have it distributed as separate CD).
After such maneuver everything works fine.
I had another problem with this tool and especially Pri
nt report.vi:
I have PDS package, and Print report.vi works excellent on my computer printing Standard Report. However when I create stand-alone application and distribute it together with run-time engine on user computers, it gives me error and I can only print creating Excel or Word type of report.
So, that is my experience. I think NI still has several bugs to work on. And if you find any other solutions, please let me know.
Good luck.

Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure, Unspecified error.

This issue is crossposted in Microsoft Answers Word and OUTLOOK. I am posting here in hopes that someone at Mircrosoft may have a solution or at least elevate the issue to someone who does.

I dabble with VBA and write and maintain several amateur Word Add-Ins. Accordingly, I have Word 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 installed on my PC. They get along fine. However, I am unable to "Share" or "Send" an open Word
document as an E-mail attachment in any version! In each case Word returns an error mesage "Word couldn't send mail because of a MAPI failure, Unspecified error (the same issue occurs with Excel and Powerpoint except the error dialog is a bit different.)
Using Word 2003, I (CAN) "Send to (Mail recipient for review)" in which case OUTLOOK is opened with the document as an attachment. I can also "Send to Mail Recipient" from Windows Explorer, in which case the Word file is attached to
an OUTLOOK message, and I can create an instance of OUTLOOK and send mail from Word using VBA.
I have repaired all Office versions. I have removed the registry keys for all office versions and repaired all versions again. I have run "fixmapi" until I am blue in the face. I have renamed the MAPI32.DLL files and ran sfc \scannow
to ensure that the MAPI32.DLL file is not corrupt. In view of these actions and in view of what I can do, something tells me that the MAPI files are fine.
So what is this "Unspecified error?" This problem is rife on the internet and most of the "canned" solutions have been marked "Answered" by some MS support engineer. These "canned" solutions might have
fixed the issue at one point, but they don't work now. At least not for me.
Thanks.

Hello Greg,
I noted that there are 2 knowledge articles that describe scenarios where you may encounter this error.
KB 291152 You receive a "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure" error message when you try to send a Word document as an e-mail attachment in Word 2002
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291152/EN-US
KB 929362 You cannot send a file by clicking Send in a different program when Outlook 2007 is running as administrator
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929362/EN-US
Please let me know the following:
1. What version of Outlook are you using?
2. Do you have Outlook open when you attempt the File > Share > Email as attachment from Word? If not, does the error occur if you open Outlook, open Word and then try to send the email?
3. If you close/reopen Word and then try the send again, do you get the same error?
4. Are you running either Outlook or Word in an elevated mode?
5. What happens if you start both Outlook and Word as "Run As Administrator". You may have to right-click each applications' .exe file to be able to choose the "Run As Administrator" option.
6. Do you get the same error when using File > Share > Email as attachment using Excel?
7. In Internet Explorer, open the Internet Options. On the General tab within the browsing history, delete your temporary Internet files and website files
8. Does the issue occur in selective startup mode?
Steps to setup selective startup mode:
Click on the Windows Start button, in the Search box type msconfig and then hit enter. This should open up the System Configuration Utility. Make the following adjustments within each tab.
Services Tab:
- Check the option 'Hide All Microsoft Services'
- Click on button 'Disable All'
Startup Tab:
- Click the button 'Disable All'
- Go back through the list and enable any Microsoft items
Click Ok. It will say “You must restart your computer for some of the changes
made by System Configuration to take effect”. Hit the ‘Restart’ button.
When the PC reboots try to run your test again.
To return back to a normal boot launch msconfig again and choose 'normal startup' on the general tab, click Ok and then reboot the PC.

Hi,
This error can indicate a permissions issue in the registry and/or other operating system issues.
Here is a
blog post which descripts some fixes to this specific error:
Check the Device Manager first to determine whether the issue was caused by an underlying operating system issue.
If it's not an issue with the operating system, try the rest steps descripted in the blog to troubleshoot the issue.

"Error while printing." over network

I am trying to print from a mac mini running 10.4.11 to a printer on a macbook pro running 10.5.3. The printer is using the Laserjet 4 Gutenprint driver. When I connect the printer directly to the mac mini, everything works fine. I can use the PDF export options on the print dialog just fine. When I try to print over the network "Processing..." flashes up and I immediately get "Error while printing." I have tried resetting the print queue on both machines, (turning sharing off and on) rebooting, deleting and installing the printer on either machine multiple times. I've repaired permissions on both machines and the cups error_log gives me literally no information when that message pops up. Help!?

I've also noticed that while the network printer is selected, I can't use the preview feature in the print dialogue, nor do the PDF features work. I get the same "Processing..." then "Error while printing." In addition, with the network printer selected, when I try to print from page 1 to 1 of a multipage document it tells me "Error: Invalid Page Range. The number is out of range. Resetting back to last known valid entry." it resets it to 1 to 1 and gives me the same error if I click print.

"Error while Printing" on ethernet network connected iMac.

Have 2 iMacs sharing a Canon MP530, one directly connected, the other via a Linksys ethernet router. Upon a print request, the networked computer locates the MP530 and displays the standard print page, but shortly after clicking Print (or Preview) the "Error while Printing" message is displayed. Under some conditions in the past we have been able to print from the networked machine, but now we're stuck and nothing seems to fix the problem.

Since you have 10.4.10 installed, I'm betting that you were able to print before this update was installed. Anyway, the first thing I would do is delete the printer from the 'client' (the iMac connecting to the shared printer). Open Printer Setup Utility, select the MP530 and delete it. Then click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System. This should remove the Canon MP driver files. Then run the printer driver installer again and once completed, add the printer via the Printer Setup Utility, by clicking Add > Default Browser and select the Shared Printer.
I would also try running a Repair Disk Permissions and if that doesn't help then try using Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility.

"Error while printing" What means; what to do??

After I set up to print, and click Print, screen shows 'barber pole', but also "Error while printing" and that's it---no further action.
What does the message mean; what do I do to overcome this problem?
Please help : )
BTW, HP site not helpful on this.
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi
Generally with printer problems, there are a few
things you can do first.
1. Download the latest printer driver and install
it.
This is available here:
Dri
ver for HP Deskjet D2300
2. In Printer Setup utility, delete your printer.
Disconnect your Printer then reconnect it, switch it
on.
In Printer Setup utility, choose Add printer
3. After that, open Disk Utilities, found in
Applications/Utilities, and run Repair
Permissions.
See how all that goes.
regards roam
ROAM -
Problem seemed to have disappeared, but tonight it came up again. (On SAFARI)
So, I went to your suggestion & tried it.
At Repair Permissions, got the message
"First aid failed" - "no package available"
Problem keeps recurring!
Nu?

PRE10 "Unspecified error occurred while performing a conform action on the following file:..."

I really need some help!
I am making a short video on premiere elements 10 and I seem to get this conforming error everytime I open the project and I cannot save it either!!
"Unspecified error occured while performing a conform action on the following file:
File0002.AVI 48000.CFA"
This happens everytime I open premiere elements 10 to lots (or all) of my video clips and I can't find any help in the adobe forums or anywhere else online!
Also, I want to save this video as an AVI file, but when I try to export it, it says it has finished quite quickly and has not even added anything to click on or when it does, it does not play. Sometimes it says it has finished then comes up with: "Error compiling movie. Unknown error". one of these happen everytime that I try to save it.
Lots (or all) of my avi files come up as this same conforming error when I load the project and I have no clue as to what to do!...
It also crashes nearly everytime after these compiling errors!
