Our server has developed a strange printing problem, i have researched and tried various suggestions however none work
The Server is Windows 2008 SP 2 - 64bit running terminal services
Printing from IE V9 (64bit) works fine
Printing from all Microsoft applications work fine
Trying to Print from IE V9 32bit - Printer dialogue window opens and versions printers are listed, including "Add Printer" option, also a Print error dialogue opens "Before you can print, you need to select a printer If you need to install a printer, either double-click the Add Printer icon or click the find Printer...button located on the general tab of this dialog"
Print and Apply are both greyed out, Add Printer, and find printer has no effect
Trying to Print from Adobe Reader appears to work but no print is produced, and no print shows in the print queue - Print seems to go into a black hole
Trying to Print from Firefox V50 - Unable to change printer properties, and printing produces the same error from the 2 dialogs "Printer Error and Print Preview Error"
- Error shows - "An error occurred while printing"
The problem seems to exist for some users only
I have created a new user / profile and the problem still exists
The problem is also visible from the Administrators account
Any suggestions would be welcome
