When adding a printer share within Print Management receive "There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper."

Question

I've installed Server 2012 as a print server (Print server will be the only function of this server). I'm now trying to add printers. The first one I've added is a HP 2035 with the Windows update HP Universal PCL6 driver. If I chose to share the printer
during the setup I receive "There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper." If I choose not to share during the setup, it adds without any issues...until I launch Properties and attempt to share it. I'm finding it doesn't seem to
matter what driver I use, whenever I share I end up with the same result. I've also tried using the PCL6 Universal Driver from HP, no change. I'e been researching this issue for hours without any change. By default, we disable firewalls on servers (Some TN
thread suggested checking to ensure the firewall is disabled). Spooler isn't crashing. I've tried adding a few others printers, running into the exact same issue. Why is trying to share the printers causing this issue?

Answer 1

I've seen some people state they get this error when disabling the Windows Firewall service.  I've never seen the error with the service disabled but it may be the replacement software interfering.
If it's off start up the service and let us know the outcome.
