Hp Printer Cannot Connect To Server
vote Hello, Since a few weeks we are encountering errors while printing on a 32 bit Citrix terminal server running Server 2008. The printers are all
Printer Unable To Connect To Server Mac
installed and shared on a different Server 2008 x64 print server and are distributed at user logon by group policy to the terminal server. From one of the Citrix servers users are sometimes getting errors "the current printer is unavailable select another printer" mostly in Office applications like Excel 2007 and Outlook cannot connect to network printer 2007. When this problem occurs in the control panel some of the printers are showing "Printer not found on server, Unable to connect". Whenever the user logs out his session and logs in again the errors are gone and printing works again. Also restarting the printspooler on the server resolves the problem (untill the next time it occurs which can be a few hours,days or even weeks). Currently we are having this issue on only 1 of our Citrix servers and the other servers also connected to the same print server are not having this issue so to problem seems to be locally on this specific server. I've searched the internet looking for hotfixes for server 2008 print spooler problems but the hotfixes i found do not describe our problem. Is there any one familiar with this problem?

say you’re running Windows 7 on a computer connected to a local network. There is a shared printer running on a different machine on the network. The drivers for the printer https://scottiestech.info/2010/09/21/how-to-fix-windows-cannot-connect-to-printer-errors-in-windows-7/ are installed on the remote machine, and the printer is shared. You think that you’ll just sit down at your puter, use the Add Printer feature, connect to the remote printer, the driver will be copied over to your machine automagically, and you’ll be off and running. But then you see this: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007e). There is a common solution connect to you can find on the web involving creating a new local port and inserting the network path to the remote printer, but you may find that doesn’t work either! The solution to your problem is very simple, and is even available as a Hotfix from Microsoft. You don’t really even need the hotfix, though. Here’s how you “fix the glitch”. It turns out that this “cannot connect to printer” error (0x0000007e) printer not found is well-known to Microsoft. Check out this Technet forum thread entitled “Windows 7 Printer Problems”: winerror 0x7e 126 ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND <–> 0xc0000135 STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND When the printer was added to the server, the driver created a registry to copy this file which in not neccessary since the client already has the file. During the connection process, the driver resets the path from \windows\system32 to the print drivers directory \windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (or w32x86\3) but never sets it back to default and the spooler process does not reset it either and looks for the color module mscms.dll in the drivers directory. Look at the registry setting of the problem printers on the server HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\PRINTERNAME\CopyFiles Is the module value \windows\system32\mscms.dll or just mscms.dll? I think if you copy the mscms file to the drivers directory on the client you can workaround this issue. You could also remove the data from the Module value and verify creating the connection succeeds and printing is as expected. Further down the thread, we find there is actually a hotfix available: I suppose this is the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=982728 It turns out this hotfix will be included in Windows 7 SP1!! Apparently Microsoft didn’t think it was important enough to test the fix thoroughly and release it early – despite the huge number of p
