Why is my server trying to connect to the printers on my local network?

I have a remotely hosted Windows Server 2012 web server which I connect to via RDP.  The weird thing is, in the event log for my server, I'm always seeing these same four errors.  Each one of them pertains to one of the printer drivers I have installed
on my home PC.
Each error says that a driver is required for the printer.  One is my HP printer I have sitting on my desk next to me, the others are two PDF drivers and a OneNote driver, all of which I have installed on my home PC.
Why is my server, which I only connect to via RDP, trying to do something with my printer drivers and how does it know about these printer drivers, and most importantly, how can I make these errors go away?
I have a screenshot of the event log but apparently I can't post images until they can "verify my account", whatever that means.

I bet you've chosen to "share the local resource" with the remote server. In the remote desktop connection window, click to show advanced options, click the local resources tab and look at the bottom most section (pictured).

  • Why is it that every time I press "Download Trial" the download begins, but gets stuck on "Trying to connect to the server"?

    I don't know what to do.

    you will have to allow any other adobe's programs to connect once they get installed or they will crash too.  this can be an annoying process as each program can have 3-5 .exe files that all want to have network access just for one program to work. its not that they are all trying to connect to the internet, but adobe's software uses networking to talk to itself inside your computer.  you will have to tell norton's to always allow these, it wont be a one time setting you can get around by temporarily disabling nortons.

  • Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    Here's the sequence of events:
    Setting up a new iMac.
    Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
    Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
    It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
    Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
    Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
    Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
    Now, the problem:
    Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
    Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
    So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
    Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
    Rebooting doesn't help
    Ideas?

    never mind the problem is gone this morning.

    Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
    Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

  • I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13

    # Question
    I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
    I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.
    Joel E. Pittenger cell: 314-724-8820

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • TS3988 I can't sign in to iCloud, message pops up stating that "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". How do I sign in to iCloud now?

    Was using iCloud just fine on Mac and iPad and suddenly can't access it from either devices.
    When reviewing the settings on iPad a "verification failed, could not communicate with the server" message pops up.
    When trying to access iCloud account on icloud.com a "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" message pops up.
    Meanwhile iCloud no longer works on both devices. (Apple ID works fine on Manage my Account)
    I don't remember changing any iCloud settings but I was working on email account settings when this happened....Any ideas??

    I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.

  • Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server

    Hi iCloud users
    For the first time I have experienced errors while attempting to connect to iCloud via my PC.  Never had any problems previously.
    The first error I received was:
         "Connection Error - iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"
    After a few attempts I was able to connect to iCloud.  However I was unable to access my Calendar and Contacts.  I received the following error messages:
         "Can't load Calendar - There was a problem loading the application"
         "Can't load Contacts - There was a problem loading the application"
    Has anyone out there experienced this?  If so could you offer an solutions/suggestions?  Is iCloud not working properly today?
    Many thanks & cheers,
    Sue
