Win32 Error Code Returned By The Print Processor: 2. The System Cannot Find The File Specified.
Forum browsing, I was finally able to get Terminal Services Easy Print to print to my Dell printer. win32 error code returned by the print processor: 122 Here's my scenario: TS: Windows Server 2008 Standard, x64 with . NET Framework 3.0 SP1 installed (pre-reqs for Easy Print). Client: Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 with .NET Framework 3.5 and https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773865(v=ws.10).aspx TS Client 6.1 installed (also pre-reqs for Easy Print). Connecting to the Terminal Server showed the redirected printers just fine. I was even able to get into the Printer Preferences and have it show settings. This part gave me an error message of "Printer settings could not be saved. This operation is not supported", however. Even after doing the fix, it still http://www.neuroncomputers.com/terminal-services-easy-print-access-is-denied-event-id-6161/ does it so I'm stuck on having defaults when printing stuff out (NOT GOOD when it comes to QuickBooks check printing). Hopefully I can fix that issue. Print test pages seemed to work as far as clicking on "Print Test Page" and having it say "A test page has been sent to the printer…" However, nothing came out of my local printer.

Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\SOMA. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 5. Access is denied." As you can see, it says "Access is denied". I drilled into this issue further and discovered that by going to the Security tab of the redirected printer in question revealed that the user did not even have any

Access is denied.I found various references stating that this could be fixed by giving the users write permissions to the C:\windows\system32\spool folder. I tried that, but kept getting an Access Denied error with one of the files and still wasn't able to print. I resolved the problem by created a new folder in a non-system location, and gave users permissions to that folder. Then go to Printers / File / Server Properties / Advanced. Change the Spool folder to point to the new folder.Labels: Print, RDP, Server 2008, Terminal Server, TS
