Hello, I work in one compane and have one problem: We have install Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprice Edition, on this server runs: DHCP, IIS, Printer Management, Routing And Remote Access. On this server we install and share Samsung ML-2010R laser printer, this printer shared with old OS, such as Windows XP and older it's working propertly, but when we try to install this printer on workstation with OS - Vista, this printer works only one time when we didn't restart PC, then this printer didn't work on Vist, how I found Vista, lost login name and password to server pc.
Early I make that this printer could print throught TCP/IP connection (from Vista throught TCP/IP was enable to print), but unfortunatly when we re-install server, I couldn't make a TCP/IP printing, and couldn't share printer on Vista (only untill th Vista PC reboot, then printer didn't work). May bee with this issue have been released a fix from microsoft? Or something else? I try to install locally this printer on Vista, it works propertly, try to make a new local port how discribed in forums, but this didn't gave any result. Please help me:) Thank you, Andrew.

Hi, This setting of gropuop policy I try, but unfortunatly it's didn't help me. Servise pack install. But now on this computer I install Windows 7 try how it's work and so on. And on this system it works propertly. I think I know why it doesn't work on Vista, because when I connect to the server (in witch shared printer), I should login in it, then all printing from Vista works, when try to save user/pass it's say's that this account save, but when I restart Vista system, it's won't work, because lost account settings. But when I try Windows 7 there are a certificate manager (or something such as), where I could store manually user name and password, and then all printing works, and when pc restart it works too.:) Thank you for the help. Best regarts, Andrew.
Hi, According to your description, I understand that you have problem with network printer about Windows Vista connect to Windows Server 2003 R2. Before going any further, I’d like to make the following question clear: 1.Is the Vista machine 32 or 64 bit? 2.Is the Windows Server 2003 R2 machine 32 or 64 bit? 3.Do you receive any error message? Based on my experience, this issue may occur by the print driver. You would need to add the 32 bit driver for the 32 bit clients, and vice versa.
If the print server is 32 bit and the client is 64bit, you may install the 64 bit driver from the client. I will share you the following article about how to install 64 bit driver on 32 bit server. Installing x64 (additional drivers) for shared x86 print server on 2003 Server x86 sp2 (Help please): in addition, please refer to the following link: A shared printer that is hosted on a Windows Server 2003-based computer does not work correctly when you use the 'Point and Print' feature to connect to the printer in Windows Vista Regards.
Hi, Thank you for your update. I did some research regarding “ Unable to map network printers on Vista machines ”. This issue may occur when “Point and Print restrictions” was not configured. We may enable the following policy to see if it works: User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Printers/Point and Print restrictions enabling the policy If this issue still retain, I’d like to confirm following: 1.Do you install SP1 on the Windows Vista? If not, you may install it and see if it works. 2.Does this issue occur on other Vista machine?
Try to test on other Window Vista system to see if it works? Regards, Nick Gu - MSFT. Hi, This setting of gropuop policy I try, but unfortunatly it's didn't help me.

Hello AskPerf Readers. My name is Mick Bailey, and I am a Support Escalation Engineer on the Performance team in Texas.
Recently I was working with a customer on an issue concerning print notifications for Windows Vista, and I thought that the information might be useful to some other folks out there. One of the key pieces to remember about Vista print notifications is that regardless of what is configured on the print server, the setting on the Vista client is the one that will be honored. For example, if you have print notifications turned off on the Windows Vista client but enabled on the print server, then you will not receive print notifications. Conversely, if you enable print notifications on the Windows Vista client, but disable them on the server, then you will receive notifications. To change the setting for print notifications, select the Printers applet in Control Panel, select File – Server Properties and then select the Advanced tab and change the selections in the “Show informational notifications for local printers” or “Show informational notifications for network printers” to suit your needs”: These settings are also controlled via the registry in the following location: HKEYCURRENTUSER Printers Settings.
The two values are:. EnableBalloonNotificationsLocal. EnableBalloonNotificationsRemote Neither of the settings exist in the registry by default. When you modify either of the checkboxes above and click on either Apply or OK, the registry values are displayed: OK, now that we know what we’re setting and where, this is where things get fun. In the specific issue I was working on, the customer was not receiving notifications even though they had the print notification settings listed above enabled. To troubleshoot the problem we captured a Network Monitor trace of the behavior and dug in a little deeper. Print notifications are found in network traces as RFFPCNEX and NT Create AndX Response traffic.
Network Print Server
You need to check that this traffic is in the trace and does not have any “Access Denied” errors. RFFPCNEX is related to RpcRemoteFindFirstPrinterChangeNotificationEx for print notification process/communication. This is briefly described in an. The article indicates that if you see the Access Denied errors in the trace that print notifications are disabled. However, this is actually misleading. If print notifications were disabled, you would not see the RFFPCNEX request in the network trace. The NT Create AndX Response is related to the communications pipe that the notifications use.
Below is a sample of what you might see in a network trace. 9:830 AM spoolsv.exe 960 CreateFile Vista pipe spoolss ACCESS DENIED Desired Access: Generic Read/Write, Disposition: Open, Options: Non-Directory File, Open No Recall, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, AllocationSize: n/a What this is telling us is that the print server cannot access the communications pipe for the spooler on the client for some file activity – specifically the print notification. It is important to note, that printing itself was not affected, only the notifications.
Once we discovered this information, the fix itself was relatively simple. On the Vista Client, we needed to modify the following Multi-string registry value: HKLM SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services LanmanServer Parameters NullSessionPipes. We double-clicked on the value, and added a new entry as shown below: When editing Multi-String values it is important to ensure that you do not have any trailing spaces, or additional carriage returns. Once we performed this step on the Windows Vista machine, print notifications worked fine. One thing to note here – this registry modification is not required by default to allow print notifications to work.
A number of factors may result in requiring this change on the client – for example, the client and server might be in different domains, or the client may have had extensive security changes applied. OK, that’s all for this post. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! – Mick Bailey Share this post: EDIT:. 1/16: (CC Hameed) The changes were made on the CLIENT (Vista) and not the Print Server. My error in typing it up!.
1/19: (CC Hameed) FYI – NullSessionPipes access for the Print Spooler was removed from Vista as part of the security hardening of the overall OS. You should carefully evaluate your system security before making changes to allow NullSession access.
Interesting post, Mick, but I’m a bit confused – perhaps you can clarify? What this is telling us is that the Vista client cannot access the communications pipe for the spooler for some file activity.
